Opposites

The idea of opposites is a universal concept. We learn early that if something is not up, then it’s down; if it’s not big, then it’s little; if it’s not good, then it’s bad!  These opposites are considered mutually exclusive. It is either one or the other. But the world doesn’t always fall into two opposites. We have a whole lot of middle ground in between two things. Few things are purely right or wrong. Some things can be in between.  If something isn’t hot, it doesn’t necessarily have to be cold.  It can be lukewarm.  If something isn’t in the front, it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the back.  It can be in the middle. Full or empty…old or young…yes or no…right or left…on and on we could go. But some things are mutually exclusive… saved or lost…heaven or hell, the narrow road or the wide road. God makes it clear that we are either saved or lost. There is no middle ground. God makes it clear that at death, we will either go to heaven or to hell. There is no middle ground. God gives each person a choice, the narrow road to Him or the wide road to destruction. Each of us makes a choice.
