"What shall i render unto the Lord for all His benefits towards me?" -Psalm 116:12Have you ever asked yourself that question? As a follower of Jesus Christ, i say that question is common to us. That thought comes to mind all the time but the question is, 'What have we done, so far?' Or 'Did we make a move?' 'Have you made a move?' Or did you just thought about it and done nothing for God?!
We, Christians, are to render unto the Lord our lives, our whole self as a living sacrifice to the Lord, that all we do and say is all for God's greater glory. We are to act out what we believe in for the faithless generation (the world) to see our God thru our lives. That is our responsibilty, in the same way we uphold our earthly family by being a good citizen of the world and not bringing shame to the name of our family... we ought to act that way being a child of God thru our faith in Jesus by the Holy Spirit.If we haven't done anything for Him who died for us then, we are no Christian rather a poser.
I challenge you to be clear about who you are thru your actions.
Render unto God what is His, render unto Him your life after all, the life we live today is His not ours. Give to God what is rightfully His. Live for Him and die for Him should he our life's mission.
For as the Scripture say, it is better to give than to receive... we have receive a lot from God, our salvation, love, grace, blessing, life, hope and eternal life and so much more... and above all God gave us His only begotten Son, to whom we receive those benefits. God has given us a lot... it cannot be numbered while we only have one thing God wants, your life. How can we not offer it to Him? ...as a living sacrifice.To God be the glory!
