Devotion Or Deception
04/05/2008 09:37:42 / Encouraging
The
deception that many of us ignore or are
ignorant of is the tendency of measuring
our devotion to God through our service
for God. True devotion to
Christ is compelled by who Christ is and
not merely demands to serve.
Service is an outcome of devotion to
God. It is quite possible to serve
God without devotion to Him. However, it is impossible to
be devoted to God and not serve him .
Many
Christians are very discouraged because
they lack a sense of
accomplishment or success in their
service for Christ. Success as
a goal is a cruel slave master
masquerading in a deep rooted and
subtle display of pride.
There is only one thing a Christian can
succeed in: Faith in God . Faith in God
acknowledges the faithfulness of the
living God. Success is a finite
treasure. Sanctification by the
grace of God is a treasure of eternal
value.
