Daily devotion – Choice and challenge
To become a Christian, one must choose to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Each and every day we are having to make choices but the one about Christ is the most important of our life.
Adam and Eve both made a tragic choice in the Garden of Eden and it cost them separation from God their Creator. Instead of obeying Him they chose to rebel against Him
But after that initial choice of becoming born again, a believer must make choices day by day and moment by moment. To obey or disobey the Holy Spirit’s guidance for our life.
But beside making a choice when one becomes a Christian, one also must accept a challenge!
That challenge is Jesus’ command for each of us to deny self – that is our own selfish ambitions, our own selfish sinful pleasures – and take up our cross.
Have you made THE choice and if so, are you taking up the challenge?
Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
