Romans 14:7-8 ~ For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we died, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
Are you living for the Lord? Those verses just said that we are the Lord's... but do we actually live for Him? Are we willing to die for Him? We're already His because He created us. But we have the choice to live for Him or live for ourselves. Living for the Lord comes with amazing benefits but it also comes with trials. Living for yourself bring no lasting benefits and they're are tons of trials. Which one sounds more appealing? The way I described it we would say living for the Lord, but what do we most often choose? Day in and day out we live for ourselves. We want to do stuff that makes us happy. But we can't live like that. Why? Because if we do we are headed down a path of destruction. A path that leads to eternal seperation from God. Does that sound like a fun place? Of course not! But just because this is what we most often choose does not mean that we're doomed to a path of destruction. God has given us the ability to choose. Don't waste it. So, are you living for the Lord?
