SUBJECT: Indecisiveness
QUESTION: What is the harm of indecisiveness?
ANSWER:
The best way to answer this is to give you two Bible lessons
on the subject.
Subject: Indecisiveness (doubts,
hesitation, uncertainty) Part 1 of 2
What are the dangers of
indecisiveness?
Bible Reading: 2 Samuel
14:1-33
2 Samuel 14:33 So
Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called
for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his
face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed
Absalom.
Indecisiveness increases the possibility of bad decisions.
Discipline is hard – and sometimes painful–work. David only
made halfhearted efforts to correct his children. He did
not punish Amnon for his sin against Tamar, nor did he deal
decisively with Absalom's murder of Amnon. He never took
time to correct Adonijah. Such indecisiveness became
David's undoing. David avoided necessary confrontations
with his children. But the consequences were disastrous.
When we ignore sin, we experience greater pain than if we
deal with it immediately.
Subject: Indecisiveness (doubts,
hesitation, uncertainty) Part 2 of 2
What are the dangers of
indecisiveness?
Bible Reading: John 3:22-36
John 3:36 He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of
God abideth on him.
Indecisiveness itself can be a bad decision. Jesus says
that those who believe in Him and remain in the Salvation
Process have [not will have] everlasting life. To receive
eternal life begins at the moment we are turned to spirit in
the first resurrection.
John, the author of this Gospel, has been demonstrating that
Jesus is the true Son of God. Jesus sets before us the
greatest choice in life. We are responsible to Him and
choose life (Deuteronomy 30: 15-20). The wrath of God is
God's final judgment and rejection of the sinner. To put
off the choice is to choose not to follow Christ.
Indecision can be a fatal decision.
