As for me I know I fall far short of the glory of God. By the shed blood of Jesus is my only righteousness by His mercy. Without forgiveness of sins we are ALL toast.

I don’t like this analogy.

The red pill is equated to reality and hardship?

Salvation is a conversion and transformation which is God’s work... not ours.

Those who are truly saved are continually transformed and conformed to the image of Christ.... Again.. His work not ours.

Our choices DO have consequences, and can result in a harder life here on earth than need be... but our faith is in Him who transforms us. Not our own works.

The question posed to Neo by Morpheus was a simple one but not easy:

If you were to be shown that everything you believed and have known to be true were to be shown false, would you want to know the truth?

Or would you rather “wake up in you bed and believe whatever you want to believe?”

I am surprised and yet not surprised how many people take the “blue pill” on a daily basis.

Read my tag line.

The second movie asked the questions:
What is control?
And if you are limited by your choices, who actually has control?
