God made us rational. He is super-rational. He put order to everything around us. The fault is not in our rational mind or will but in our perception that changes it. The sky is as purple as it is blue.
The only 'rational choice' in light of Christ and God is repenting and seeking forgiveness for our creator is both infinitely loving and abundantly gracious. If you know God as such, it aught to be a no-brainer!!! RETURN AND REPENT!!! Look for another source of rejecting the Gospel or even the goodness of God's law but the irrationalism of our fallen natures and indwelling sin. This old nature must be changed in conversion. We must be born again. We must have spiritual life because by this spiritual things are discerned.
Let's not confuse freedom with foolishness. The problem lies in our fallen state not in our will. The solution is in getting our fallen state corrected. Not in our rational will corrected! We do not sin because of our rational will alone. We sin because we are sinners and see our sin wrongly. We are not saved because of our will alone either. We are saved because God appoints us to salvation by making us see the truth from implanting a new nature. The sky is as purple as it is blue.
This leads one to ask is not Christ victorious in actually saving people? He must overcome our foolish perceptions when he applies his gospel. It is like me trying to convince you that the sky is as purple as it is blue. You may be thinking about what I am saying in passing but I REALLY mean that the sky is NOT pure blue! It is really blue and purple light mixed in EQUAL amounts!!!!! I mean it. SERIOUSLY, It is just as PURPLE as it is BLUE!!! You may be rejecting this wrongly because you perceive it wrongly. We trust too much in ourselves for truth. Yet, this is where God places truth in our souls by regeneration and conversion. We then can rightly see the glory of the cross. We can then rightly estimate the filth called sin. God commands everyone everywhere to repent.
Why should we not return home to our Father who is the one Source of all Being who graciously pardons all who come to him? To not return home is like believing the sky is just blue. It is foolishness. It is not truth. It holds no measure of truth.
The truth is that the sky is just as purple as it is blue.
If you don't believe me finally. Look Here.
PROOF THAT YOU MUST SEE!!!!
"the spectrum of skylight — when analyzed — is about equal parts violet and blue."
We only see it differently as humans. Now why didn't you believe me earlier? Was it because of your free will? or did you wrongly think I was crazy to assert something so absurd. Are your eyes playing tricks on you? The same instance occurs in conversion by your old nature. We bid dead men to live. It is outside their will.
