- Why should I seek to live a holy and blameless life?
- Why should I work at developing an intimate relationship With God?
- Why should the motivation of everything I do be “will this be pleasing to the Lord?”
- Why should I very loosely hold on to the material possessions that I have and presently enjoy?
- Why should I be intentional about serving others and living a sacrificial life?
- Why should the advance of the gospel be the focus of my ministry?
So why do I need a reason to do any of these things? The reason has already been given. Christ gave his life as a ransom to pay a debt that I could not pay on my own. Were it not for His sacrificial death on the cross I would be doomed to live a life without an eternal purpose and doomed to die without knowing the One who created me and rescued me. However, because of what He has done for me I am destined for “the other side” and that is reason enough. The only real question at this point is “Will I be a chicken… or will I be a courageous servant of the Most High God?”
