Global Evangelism: Take Your Chains
from The Catalyst Community Hosted by The Catalyst Fellowship
Jesus made Himself of no reputation, so that He could save the world from sin. God literally became a man for this reason. This was a choice that God had to make and it cost Him something. God choosing himself to die does not excuse the moral weight of this action, because it involves death. No one who truly understands the sacrifice of Christ will go about living their lives ordinarily. The gospel is not a cost-free one. Salvation is free, but loyalty to Jesus is not. Living for Jesus will therefore cost you something. You cannot pay Jesus with your loyalty, but your loyalty is the deserved response for what He did. There is a cross to pick up, chains to take up. The three intentional chains which every believer must pick up are: 1. Identify with the sufferings of Christ. 2. Identify with the sufferings of the Apostles. 3. Identify with the sufferings of the saints today.
