What Percentage of People Will Choose Jesus?

 One 1/3rd of the angels had fear, doubt, and ultimately rebellion in their hearts. This is why they so readily joined The Satan’s rebellion (Revelation 12:3-4). Could it be that statistics are a God-instituted law of nature, just like gravity or sowing and reaping? From that question, I postulate: If 66% of free agents (angels) chose God, 66% of humans will choose Christ before all is said and done. Ha ha! If only that were true. In fact, look at the percentages more completely…66.6% + 33.3% = 100%. If you like numbers 666 is already making you itchy. A better hypothesis is that 33.3% of people will come to Jesus. 3-3-3, a trinity of trinities. This is better, not becuase of the trinity allusion, but because it aligns with Scriptures, such as those concerning “the narrow path”, “the few”, and “the chosen”, etc. This sounds more statistically accurate than 6-6-6…the mark of the beast, the number of The Satan. After all, those fallen angels had no excuse, they could actually see God and be in the presence of God. If they who saw did not believe, more cursed are they than those who cannot see but won’t believe. However, “a curse is a curse,” whether you haven’t seen and choose you or saw and chose you you anyway.(1)

So What?

Well, are you in the 33.3% of people that will choose Jesus? Or are you hedging your bet? Are you literally hoping against hope? Our God is kind, but God is also just.(2) In other words, God is love. He desires that you come to repentance and choose him instead of choosing yourself and the path that leads to eternal separation. Separation from the very source of good…now that’s hell! 

May the odds be ever in your favor! 

The odds are in your favor! The fact that you’re reading this means that Jesus loves you and has been trying to get your attention for some time. You have seen the signs, but you have passed them by. You have seen the miracles, but you have explained them away. It’s time to take a beat! If the path you’re on, doesn’t get you closer to God on more days than not, statistically speaking, it exponentially leads to meaningless personified as death, chaos, and destruction. Come on my friend, WAKE UP! Stop sleepwalking. There’s a cliff on your current path, your soul is heavy, and you don’t have wings.

Jesus really does love you! Even more, He always has. Even more, He has an epic plan for your life. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart/imagination of humans, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). The only odds that will pay dividends, the only odds in your favor, are when you roll with Jesus.(2) Ride or die. Ride or die.(3)

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14)

FOOTNOTES

(1) A curse isn’t a curse, not actually…even in this I see God’s mercy to those (humans) who don’t believe…they choose separation (themselves) over God but their lot won’t be as devastating as those who saw (the fallen angels) and chose separation.

(2) By “roll” here I am alluding to dice and odds but I specifically am using the cultural phrase “roll with someone,” meaning “going with someone.” Such as rolling with them in their car. 

(3) Culturally speaking, “Ride or die,“ means, “I will go with you, even if it means to the death.”(a) The entendre here is that you must choose your death! Either you ride/go with Jesus, which means death to your sin-full life, or you choose not to ride/go with Jesus and that just means you are choosing a life of hell on earth AND thereafter. No matter how laden are the pleasures you experience here on Earth, apart from God you are simply Dorian Gray (at best).
