No Sacrifice Posted August 19
I think many people make a fundamental mistake in the way they view their relationship with God. They view it in win/lose terms. They see it as a zero-sum game. They focus on what they have to give up and fail to realize how much more they get back. A relationship with God is the ultimate win/win relationship.
Let me go out on a theological limb; I don't think there is any such thing as sacrifice when you're a follower of Christ.
Sure, we are called to "deny ourselves" and "take up our cross." We're called to "lose our lives so that we can find them." And we certainly experience temporary loss. But I don't think anyone has ever sacrificed anything for God. Why? Because we always get back more than we give up. And if you get back more than you gave up, have you really sacrificed anything at all?

How to Make a Faith Commitment:
In a prayerful moment, turn your life over to the care and control of Jesus Christ.
Dear Lord Jesus,
I believe that you are God and that you are risen from the dead. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I want you to be my Savior and to come into my life at this moment. As best as I know how, I turn my life over to your care and control.
Amen.
