What you believe and what you say can differ.
What do you give your life for?
Think about that.
What do you give your life for?
Off the top of my head…
· My family · My faith
· My ministry
· My friends
What do you give your life for?
Some of the things I waste my life away doing that has no value to it…
· Video games· Selfish desires (I want to go to every Major League Baseball Stadium in the US).
These are just two answers but it can be so much more than this.
We give are life and waste our lives for some meaningless things that just please us.
I am guilty as charged.
But what is worth giving?
What is worth giving our lives for?
Jesus said this in John 10:17-18…
“The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life – only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
This is one of the times Jesus mentioned giving his life to die on the cross for our sins.
God loves him because of Jesus’s will to put his life on the line for the people.
He volunteered for a life that would end in death.
Is what we give our life for a huge decision?
At CIY we watched the video Love Costs Everything.
It was talking about Christians being martyred for their faith.
One of the lines a minister from the Middle East said, “Last week I baptized 13 people and 11 were killed for their faith.”
All over the world, the people most persecuted are Christians.
Yet through this video, the people gave their live for Christ.
They were willing to suffer tremendous suffering all for Christ’s name.
What is worth giving our lives for?
Jesus gave his life for us even though we didn’t deserve it because we make mistakes, we are sinners.
He did this for us.
What are you willing to do for your believe and decisions you make?
What if you were wrong with your decisions?
I am in awe of Jesus doing this for me.
I don’t feel worthy.
He did this for me….he did this for you.
Faith in Jesus is not an easy thing, but it is well worth the cost.
“Perfect Love Costs Everything.”
What do you in life that is worth the cost?
Have a great day.
