Commitment

The Bible talks about God's faithfulness and commitment to us, to save us from our sins. But what about our commitment to Him? What does God tell us about our need for commitment to Him and His service? Ruth 1:16-18 KJV And Ruth said, "Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me." When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. Luke 9:61-62 KJV And another also said, "Lord, I will follow Thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house." And Jesus said unto him, “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Related Podcasts: — Unto Whom Much is Given — The Law of Faith — The Law and Grace — What of Works? — Missing the Mark — Faith and the Christian Experience — Obedience is the Consequence, not the Cause — Search Me, O God — Forgiveness is Our Solemn Duty — Beware Self-Righteousness — Godly Sorrow, True Repentance — Why Do We Seek Wisdom? — Having the Right Perspective Related Podcasts at TrueWisdom: — Joseph and His Conflicts — Squandered Blessings — Grace, Grace, and More Grace Text Us Support the show Send questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.com The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.
