Commitment To The Lord

There is no commitment to the Lord on the part of unsaved individuals and a very shallow commitment to Him on the part of even many saved individuals. Every spiritual problem I have ever had was caused by too little commitment to the Lord and every spiritual blessing has been the result of a commitment to Him. When I received Jesus, the preacher did not say it, but the Holy Spirit caused me to understand that receiving Him was a commitment. It was a commitment because of who He is, God the Son and the Son of God. Receiving Him was a commitment to His authority. When no evidence of a commitment to the Him is demonstrated in the lives of some, I seriously doubt that they have received the same Jesus that I have. No commitment equals no faith.
