What am I willing to give?
I think this question boils down to, how real is your faith and your belief that Jesus Christ truly saved you! What are we willing to do, sacrifice, experience for the sake of our souls? Do we toss our souls away carelessly at the feet of idols, only bringing it to God when those line tear it apart? Are we Gomers?
Do we actually recognize that a great price has been paid for our souls, a payment method so strong that it has managed to completely wipe our slate as well as our souls clean? All we have to do is take a step towards HIm.
Many times we as Christians have that knowledge but don't allow it to take root in our hearts and transform our lives, to bring us to a place where we are willing to do anything for the Lover and Savior of our Souls? What are we willing to given exchange for the fact that the Lord has preserved our souls.
It's important not to confuse our response to the cleansing of our souls with what actually causes our souls to be cleansed ( faith without works is dead). We need to allow ourselves to be fully comprehend the fact that He saved our souls, once we do that, what won't we do in response to what He did?
Application:
Today I will spend time simply meditating on just what it is that the Lord has done for me, and whether of not my life shows that I recognize and appreciate it.
