I beseech you
therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:1
We live in a “throwaway
society”, if something stops working you toss it out and buy a new one. Many
companies might offer an excellent warranty, in hopes that 3 years down the
road when something fails, you’ll forget the coverage you purchased, and buy
new.
As a child of God,
you were created by God for a specific purpose. He gave you special gifts to
ensure your life’s purpose is fulfilled. God paid for your talents through the
sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, who made you eternally secure. Are you
using those gifts and talents effectively, or are you bumping your way through
this life with an occasional “atta-boy”? God doesn’t demand that you align your
life with His will; He gives you the opportunity to decide the path you choose.
You did not choose Me,
but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, that your
fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give
you. John 15:16
Are you bearing
fruit for the Lord? What some Christians often forget is God choose them for
the Heavenly Father’s kingdom work. Yes, you might have made the decision to
accept Jesus Christ into your life, but it was God who called you, He put that
need, that desire to be saved in you, and you responded. Now to complete your
part of the commitment, you need to ensure your life is a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
If anyone does not
abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered, and they gather them
and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6
God loves you and
wants you to be the best servant to Him. Unless you live a life committed to
Him, John 15:6 tells what happens in your unwillingness to serve Him as you
were called. Don’t be one of those throw-away Christians! You’ve got a purpose
in this life, seek and serve Him. Your warranty is eternal! God bless!
