A young man posed this question to me last night when talking about following Jesus and being different than the rest of the world, about sanctification: "Then why are we here, if we are not to enjoy it?"
Wow, a very difficult question. I encourage all of you to search your soul on that one. What is it to you?
I cannot but come back to, it is God pursuing us for a relationship. It is God deserately hoping for us to turn to Him, acknowledge Him, submit our lives for Him, and to Love Him will all we have. It is the greatest commandment, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and strength."
And as Jesus has shown us the perfect example of love, to lay down your life for others....So we are called to die to self, die to our own control, die to our sin, and so that we may truly be able to get ourself out of the way to love Him UNSELFISHLY, since that is what happens when the self is dead.......................It is love man, a wonderful, glorious love.
So, what is it to you?
