good morning bloggers. what im talking about today is a phrase i learned while reading a book titled crazy love, written by francis chan. im working through this book in a class that i am taking and each week my eyes are opened to a new light that Jesus shows us. today, we are talking about the phrase all or nothing. if you take time to read through the gospels, take a look at them like you never have before. imagine yourself a new Christian or someone who has never believed before. you will discover (or rediscover) that Jesus wants [all or nothing] from you. if you are going to call yourself Christian, then believe it in your heart and then you must commit to it. the thought of a Christian calling themselves "Christian" without actually being committed to it is not what God wants from us. it isn't necessarily all about reading through the Bible and knowing all the background information, it is KNOWING him/LOVING him. we are also called to believe in His word and then act on it. James 2:17, "faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead." we are called to live vital and active lives of faith. i will end by quoting the author Chan, "true faith means holding nothing back, it bets everything on the hope of eternity."
give it your all today :)
