“For in Him we live and move and have our being.” Acts 17:28
God spoke to me yesterday about the commitment you and I make to God. The question is are you a “bystander” or a participant living in the reality of Jesus?
No one can make this decision for you. It has to come from your heart.
A bystander is a spectator who watches from the sideline. He is not playing in the game.
If you want the fullness of Jesus you have to let go of the world and be willing to live for Him.
What causes someone to make a radical decision for Jesus and to let go of all their desires and ambitions?
You have to hear and accept by faith the gift of salvation. But it is much deeper than this; you have to have an encounter with the Living God and experience who He is.
This can happen to you today. Be still and simply ask God to show you who He is. Listen for the voice of God and feel His presence. This will be a life changing moment in your life.
The Christ follower seeks outs Jesus with all of his heart. He lives with God in prayer and listens for His voice. He walks with God under the authority of the Holy Spirit.
The decision for Jesus is a commitment to live by faith believing in the promises of God. So whether life is good or filled with adversities you walk by faith not by sight.
The Christ follower judges God by His promises not by what he sees in his life. He is a man (or woman) of many sins. He goes astray from God at times. He experiences suffering and pain and his life is filled with troubles.
However, the Christ follower is an overcomer and loves God with all his heart. He has a passion to live for God!
