“LIVING FOR CHRIST!”
Romans 14:8-9
“For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.”
You may have heard or even use this expression: “I’m just dying to try that!” -- or “I’m just dying to go there!” When we stop and think about it, we know that the things of this earth will never be achieved by dying. On the other hand, heaven or hell can be accessed only through death.
I do not want to start this issue of "Blessings From the Heart" with a discussion about death, but about life! Many of us live in areas where it becomes very easy to live for Christ. In other parts of the world, however, to even name the name of Christ carries with it a death sentence.
I have heard stories about individuals that had a lackadaisical attitude toward spiritual values until they were confronted with a choice of either denying Christ in order to live -- or dying for Him. I think of the first martyr, Stephen, who chose the latter.
We may not be confronted with a life or death situation, but we all are challenged to live for Christ each and every moment. As you sincerely evaluate your life, are you living for Christ or are you living for self? I want to live for Christ!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
