Radical Commitment — 9 Comments

  1. We often try relate to God as if He were human. The concept of a God whose love is unconditional and not tic-for-tact is hard for us to fathom. Total radical commitment would shake up our thinking and our lifestyles, which for some of us is too much contrary to our inherent selfish natures. God transforming Himself for our salvation was radical, the price He has paid took total commitment, out of gratitude we could at least seek Him first before we do anything else. Like you, I'm going against the grain and working on it. I'm a work in progress.

  2. Lillianne, Thank you for this beautifully written article and for reminding us that everyone is radically commited to something. Often times we have trouble commiting to Jesus, not because it is too much of a commitment, but because we are already commited to something else. While reading your article I chose again to be commited to Jesus-radically commited!

  3. This subject I THINK is what JESUS said to be the first GREAT commandment. It is everybody's will to be like that.But Jesus knew it and said" the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak". He also said "that is not so simple, but through fasting and prayers". It requires divine intervention in to our decision making abilities and will power. We need to surrender our everything to him and look forward by faith to him as he turns to us as everything we love the most.

  4. Lillianne, your comment raises some serious questions in my mind about who will be standing when Jesus comes again. What bothers me most outside of my own crooked life is that taunting question Jesus asked, "Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8 NKJV)

  5. Peter denied Jesus Christ, however once he had the upper room experience of the holy ghost as in the book of Acts chapter 2, he became committed to Christ. We must trust Jesus to draw us as we study his word and seek him. The word says "seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousess and all things shall be added to us" we too can be committed as we seek Christ. I too am a work in progress!

  6. Mrs. Lopez, thank you so much for your post!! It goes along with what I've been dealing with for weeks and that is do we take JESUS for granted and do we really understand what HE did for us again thank you because I realize how messed up I am but with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT I have a chance to be the type of Christian JESUS deserves!!!!!!!!!

  7. Please consider for a moment that some have “total acceptance of the cause, total dedication to the cause, total discipline in the cause, and total action for the cause" of the church without a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Perhaps this is the meaning of Matthew 7:22-23.

    • Thank you for the reality check! No matter what, we have to remember that radical commitment to anyone or anything but Jesus Christ is wrong. That's one of the things that makes that commitment so hard.
