Total Devotion

(Somewhat taken from "Total Devotion" by Kevin Johnson)

Look at our troops over in Iraq and also other places, who are sacrificing there life totally for there country. Knowing that in any battle they may face, can be there last. And yet they march on.

Look at the terrorists who took down the twin towers. I wouldn't quite call what they did total devotion but you get the picture. They wanted to show the world that their cause worth murdering, and dying for. But they couldn't have made it any clearer to us why Christ is worth living for. You aren't trying to earn heaven as a suicide killer, God offers His eternal Life as a free gift. (Eph 2:8)
God offers eternal life as a gift and asks next to nothing from you, as opposed to what we have asked of Him.
He is the God of love and is worthy of so much more than what we can offer. The least we can do is totally devote our lives to Him, be a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to God.
When you think of what He has done for you, is this too much to ask?

Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship.
