Remember what God has invested in our salvation. It took nothing less than the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross to purchase our salvation. Because of God’s great love for us, Jesus bore our sins in himself on the cross. He suffered the humiliation of the cross, the torture of crucifixion and the spiritual agony of being cut off from the Father.
Considering all that God has done to bring us into a right relationship with himself, we cannot even imagine that he would not demand our pure and unbroken fidelity. He desires for us to be totally his. When we betray him by substituting him with other things and lesser things, his passion is stirred up and his anger is kindled.
Paul teaches that “you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.” (1 Cor 10: 21).
God cares for us. He proved that in the death of Jesus Christ. This motivates in us a passionate desire for an intimate and personal relationship with him — the one who loved us and gave himself for us.
May you be blessed as you walk with the Lord, in the light of his Word! May he abide with us always and may we be faithful to him.
