The Greatest Gift of All

The more we have in life the more God requires of us. Luke 12:48 reminds us that, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” In other words, we cannot accept Jesus as our savior without being accountable for our actions. For example, because Jesus forgave us, we must forgive others, because Jesus loves us, we must love others, because Jesus always stands ready to help us, we must help others.

Being a follower of Jesus involves more than receiving the gifts of God, it means giving of our lives as well. Our commitment to God, and to our brothers and sisters in Christ, increases considerably as we go through life. The more we receive from God, the more we must give away. The more we do for God, the more He will ask us to do. The cycle is continuous and eternal, much like a heavenly orbit that leads us ever higher and closer to God.

Our entire life should be a journey toward God. We reach the peak on that ultimate day when we see Him face to face. Then we will suddenly understand why He asked so much of us. It was for our own good, and for His glory.

He was preparing us for the greatest gift of all!

“I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)
