Have You Really Committed

"And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ."
Romans 8:9

This is another scripture that tells us the importance of making God number one in our life. When we accept Jesus into our hearts, as our Lord and Savior, it is important to show this by the kind of life we live each and every day. We cannot go on living the sin filled life we led before, but our daily life must change, as sin must be eradicated from everything we do. I am afraid that there are many people that go up to the altars at their churches on Sunday and ask Jesus to be their savior, but then expect their lives to be the same as before. This will not be the case if you have truly accepted Jesus into your heart, as your life will change dramatically. You will now make God number one in your life. You will think about Him when you wake up each day. You will pray to Him all during the day. You will be convicted when you are tempted to sin by Satan, and will turn away from your sinful ways. You will want to know more about God and what He expects from you, and will want to read your Bible and gain His wisdom and understanding. Your entire outlook on life will change and you will finally be at peace with yourself. This is how your life will change when you have really accepted Jesus into your heart. If you are not experiencing this kind of change in your life, you need to realize that you may not have fully committed to making Jesus your Lord and Savior. Just as the scripture above says if you don't have the spirit of Christ in you, you don't belong to Christ. Please make sure that you have really committed your life to Jesus today.
