Does my life demonstrate that I am ready and willing to die for the sake of Jesus?A true Christian must be willing to say, "I will not renounce Christ, even if it costs my life." But as soon as we say that, it makes a whole lot of things in our lives look ridiculous. I will die for you, but I can't find time to sit and read your teaching each day. I will die for you, but prayer doesn't seem real. I will die for you, but I can't talk to Jim about you at work. I will die for you, but I can't support your cause with more than 10% of my income. One of the best ways to bring wonderful Christ-honoring changes into your life is to measure your way of life by your willingness to die for Jesus.
John Piper
May I not be ashamed of the gospel! May I not forget the gospel! May Jesus be everything! May I not only be able to say, "I will not renounce Christ, even if it costs my life," but also "To live is Christ; to die is gain!"
Amen.
