learn

things that i have been learning lately:

there is no such thing as a "radical" christian and a "normal" christian. there is only reasonable Christians and unreasonable Christians. In light of what God has done for us, how can we not wholly surrender our entire lives, minds, actions, thoughts, dreams, visions, relationships, TO HIM. he is the creator of the universe. we were purposed not for this earth, but for eternity with Him. if we truly believed that, why would we not give our lives to him? IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE. if we really believed that God became human and walked on earth and showed us the best way to live, why would we not do everything in our power to become more like him and live our lives how jesus lived? if we believe that the God of the universe gave us a WORD aka the bible, why would we not want to read it every single day of our lives?! it just doesn't make sense. if we believe that the bible is truly the inspired word of God and everything in it is true, OUR ONLY OPTION IS TO SURRENDER OURSELVES AS LIVING SACRIFICES. that is the only thing that makes sense really. to put God in the center. with this knowledge, how can we not have joy? we have the hope of glory. the hope of things to come. it really makes you want to live your life differently with a completely different mindset.
