The Power of the Resurrection | Two Minute Daily Devotional

The power of our faith is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We do not speak enough about the resurrection. At Communion we remember His death and celebrate His resurrection. At Easter we proclaim His victory over the grave. But the heart of the Gospel is this: God raised Jesus from the dead! Everything we believe, everything we preach, and everything we hope for rests upon that glorious truth. So how should we respond to such a great salvation? We cannot hold anything back from the Lord. We cannot deceive Him or offer Him only part of our lives. In Christian service, we are not forced to surrender ourselves to God. But when we choose to follow Him, our response should be free, willing, and wholehearted, withholding nothing. The Lord called me when I was just fifteen years old. He did not first call me to be an evangelist or a pastor; He called me to give Him everything. That has been the pattern of my life. I have sought to hold nothing back from the Lord, but to pour out my life before Him in loving obedience. If you make a promise to God, keep it. As believers, we trust the Lord to keep every promise He has made to us. In the same way, we should be faithful in keeping the promises we make to Him. A life fully surrendered is the only fitting response to a risen Saviour who gave everything for us.
