Which Shall It Be?
“Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, is of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.” C.S. Lewis (God in the Dock)
Let me put it this way, if Jesus lived, died, and rose again so that you can have eternal life by an act of His grace through faith, you owe Him the rest of your life; every minute of it. If Jesus did not do that (BUT HE DID), then go home and live as you please. Jesus either deserves your everything or nothing. What is not acceptable is a half-hearted, lukewarm commitment!
And he (Jesus) said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.” (Matthew 22:37-38 ESV)
“I (Jesus) know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:15-16 ESV)
