(for
part 1 see 8/7/25)
Living
for Christ is not about all my wants and desires being fulfilled. It isn't
about never having an enemy or ever being bullied. It is a struggle some days.
It costs something to be a real Christian according to the standard of the
Bible. There are enemies to overcome, battles to be fought, sacrifices to be
made, an Egypt to be forsaken, a wilderness to pass through, a race to run, and
a cross to carry.
Actually,
it is the beginning of a mighty conflict in which Satan will try to steal
everything God has done for you. You will have to fight with the Sword of God's
Word. It will be the beginning of a mighty conflict in which you will have to
stand strong in the Lord by trusting, obeying, sacrificing, and dying (to self)
daily. Yes, it costs to be a real Christian, but you will not regret your
decision because the love of God is greater than anything this world has to
offer.
It takes a made-up mind to do anything these days, and serving the LORD is no different. The rewards are so many, and the Peace He brings is the envy of all those who are searching. Yes, it costs something to be a Real Christian. Are You Willing To Pay The Cost?
