Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-2
Are you sold out for Christ? Or do you still have one foot in the world's door? The truth is we cannot serve both man and God. Everything must be done unto God and not for the approval of man. It is hard to do when we were raised to want the approval of first our parents, then our teachers, then our employers and then our spouses. And although we are to love one another, pray for one another, and respect one another, we are only to seek the approval of one person and that is the person of Jesus Christ. Everything we do and say should give glory to Him. All heart and mind must be for Him. Love God before all others. It will save you years of anguish and trial if you learn this early in your walk and not stray from His Word. We were created to worship Him but the world distracted us to believing we should be fans of sports, movie stars, other gods and statues. The simple truth is love God, worship Him only, rejoice in His presence, pray and spend personal time with Him and live to give Him glory. Be sold out for Christ for He is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)
