We do the same today but with our lives. We want to do things for the Lord but we’re not all in or fully devoted so things we do are defiled sacrifices. We have to see how much God loves us and what He has done for us because when we realize that we will do everything to show our respect for Him. Not only did He create everything but He sent His Son so we could have a way back to Him. We must see this and know as new creations we can live righteously and make a difference with our sacrifices. When we are excited about this we want to learn more and when we learn more we give our best and when we give our best we are a light to the world.
Our walk is not about saying anything it is about living the way Jesus did and we can do that because God has given us His word and the Spirit to guide and direct us. Nothing in this world is ours and nothing can be put ahead of God. Our desires need to be getting wisdom from the Lord and then sharing that with people we come across.
When we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior we need to understand our mission in life becomes the great commission. Matthew chapter 28 verses 18-20 says, “Jesus came and told His disciples, “I have been given all authority in Heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
With joy and love we learn and mature and give glory to God because He gave it all to us. We need to say thank you and show Him our love by giving our all and running the race to win. Amen
