What kind of commitments toward Himself does God require of me?
- Love Him with all (Matthew 22:37)
- If I love, then also obey (John 14:15)
- Seek Him first, also His kingdom (Matthew 6:33; Colossians 3:1,2)
- My body (Romans 12:1; 6:13)
- Live His life (Galatians 2:20; 5:25)
- Absolute dependence (John 15:5)
- Take up my cross daily and follow (Luke 9:23)
Can I trust Him and love Him enough to stick my neck way out and give Him a blank check?
Dare I say, “Lord, whatever You tell me to do, I will do my best to do”?
