Responsibility Pt.1
Responsibility pt.1
The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up. John Maxwell
Romans 12:1-8 talks about our responsibility as Christians. We have a responsibility to do what God wants, a responsibility to be Christ’s body, and a responsibility to action.
Paul says admonishes us to present our bodies as a “living” sacrifice. When someone sacrifices’, they know their end. Think about a baseball who has been asked by the coach to sacrifice his at bat, or someone who sacrifices to help with a kidney or bone marrow transplant. They know their end….they know what is supposed to happen, they will lose something. But when they sacrifice, they also know that it is for a good reason. Just think about Jesus’ sacrifice.
As Christians, we should sacrifice to be holy. That means losing our desires and passions. But in reality, are we really losing? Our sacrifice only brings us closer to Christ. But, it’s not easy. Paul talked about nailing our passions and desires to the cross and crucify them there. (Galatians 5:24-25) The cross stuff is not easy… We’ve seen the movie. (
