I recently went to a class by Eric Owens called, \u201cAre You Giving God the Bare Minimum?\u201d My favorite part of that lesson was when he answered the question, \u201cDoes Christianity even have a bare minimum? The answer is \u201cYes\u201d. Christianity\u2019s bare minimum is ALL. He brought things to a close by saying if you\u2019re not giving Christ your all, you\u2019re not even meeting the bare minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about that for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think it\u2019s easy to just go through the motions and forget that it\u2019s a commitment we\u2019re making to Christ, not just doing it because He said so. We must always make it our effort to follow Him, but ask yourself what your motivation is. Is it because you truly love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:19)? Or, is it because it\u2019s what you\u2019ve been taught all your life? Is it a chore to obey + worship God or is it a delight? Jesus gave His all for us. Why shouldn\u2019t we give our all to Him? A song that comes to mind when I think about this is, \u201cJesus Paid It All\u201d. Think about these words\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus is the only one who can wash that stain away. He died for you and for me. He endured a horrible death for us. We haven\u2019t done anything to deserve what He did for us. He did it because He has a tremendous amount of love for His creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, with all of that in mind, I\u2019ll end by asking the question, \u201cAre you giving God the bare minimum?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
