Commitment

When
we first learn about the simple and clear truth of God’s word in the Bible, it requires
our response, leading to baptism. If we become baptized, we commit our lives to
God. That means that we will follow Him, and not man. That means that we will work
to bear fruit of the spirit. God has made a
commitment to mankind, to establish His kingdom and that man may inherit it. But
we must return that commitment to Him if we want to be a part of it. Our
commitment must be complete, unwavering, and zealous. We will stumble and sin,
but we can get up and keep going if we repent. This proves our trust in God’s
way of life. Our willingness to trust God in return builds his trust in us to
succeed.
