Forsaking All I Take Him
Jesus said,
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24.
I write this to those who would claim to be Christians.
Do you worship God in spirit and in truth?
I firmly believe that to worship God in spirit and in truth you have to be completely committed to Him.
Matthew’s gospel records this incident between Jesus and a young man. He records,
“Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments.”
“Which ones?” the man inquired. Jesus replied, “ ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’’”
“All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.” Matthew 19:16-22.
The young man believed there was a God. He it followed the law. He was a good man. But he was not willing to put his complete trust in God. His trust it seems was in his wealth.
He was not worshiping God in spirit and in truth. He did not have the faith that God would provide for him and look after him.
The writer of Hebrews states,
Forsaking
All
I
Take
Him.
Do you truly have faith in God? Do you worship God in spirit and in truth?
It is a question only you can answer.
Please think about it.

The writer of Hebrews states,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and
certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1.
In order to truly worship God we must be willing to put our complete trust in Him. As some one said, FAITH.... Forsaking
All
I
Take
Him.
