Making a decision for Jesus was paid with a very steep price!

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:20

The human mind cannot comprehend what Jesus did on the Cross. He was perfect and paid a steep price for a human being to belong to him. Jesus was taken into a horrific sewer while dying on the Cross. He died for all sin with His blood.

The reality of changing from your natural life to a new creature in Christ cannot be taken lightly. This cost Jesus dearly.

The gift of salvation provides eternal life, forgives all your sins with the blood of Jesus, seals you with the Holy Spirit who is the life of Jesus, and transforms you into the character of Jesus. You move from a death sentence to an heir of God entitled to all the promises of Jesus.

The instructions in the scripture above are to glorify God in your body and in your spirit. Salvation is a powerful gift and a believer is obligated to die to self and live for Jesus.

The believer is asked to present his physical body as a  living sacrifice holy and acceptable to Jesus. The bad habits and compulsive behaviors have to go away.

Pray for Jesus to purify your thoughts and actions through the Holy Spirit and help you honor and respect the redeeming work of God. 

Do not be conformed to the world but be transformed to prove the good, acceptable and perfect will of God. Walk in oneness with Jesus and sever ties with worldly beliefs and values.

The relationship between Jesus and a believer is a symbiotic union that benefit both parties. The believer cannot just take from Jesus and expect to get His favor and blessings.

The responsibility of a believer is to concentrate on Jesus through prayer, reading the Bible and listening for His voice. 

He must vigilantly seek the will of God with a surrendered heart to serve Jesus.

He must comply with obedience to the instructions of Jesus regardless of the personal cost or lack of logic.

He must live under the authority of the Holy Spirit and ask Jesus to reveal anything he is thinking or doing that grieves the Spirit. This will keep a believer in check with Jesus.

The Christ follower is accountable to Jesus for his every thought and action!
