RAMSEY Appropriately enough, this fi- nal Jesson of the series on 'Man in God's purpose' concerns man's commitment--man's re- sponse to what God has done for him. man 1s Hever at mip ines until he. is totally committed to a just and righteous cause, or end, in life. For the Christian there can be only one cause, one commitment above all oth- ers: The Kingdom of Christ in| the individual life and in the} world, | The way is not easy. Christian discipleship 4d ds all that we have and all that we are. But the rewards are great, as our Lord has clearly indicated in Matthew 6:33: "Seek ye the Kingdom of God, and His right- eousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." The things added are not only the necessities of life--food, cloth- ing, ete.--but also the spiritual blessings of peace of mind and; growth in God's grace. | WHAT'S REACTION | Now let us consider three} ;would - be disciples and what they learned from the reaction of Christ to their excuses. The first man came to Jesus saying. "I will follow thee whith- ersoever thou goest,'"' but he had not counted the cost. He was not ready to consecrate his | property to God and put the kingdom of Christ first in his life. Discipleship is not assumed) lightFy. Total commitment| means ali we are, all we have} --including our lives--is a gift from God, ours only to admin- ister as stewards. | The second man was called by Christ, but begged deferment Christian Discipleship -- Demands Best Of Man . by the world, if necessary, if this be the will of God. Paul likens this, in his letter to the Hebrews, to an athlete running a race. To win, we must keep our eyes ever on the goal: Our union with Him, and we are to lay aside all those things that would hinder our winning the race. EMPHASIZES JOYS The passage from Paul's let- ter to the Colossians emphasi the duty and joy of seeking maturity in the Christian life. When we are converted and nave comesscu vuL tan au Christ we are dead to the old life, to the rudiments of the world. We become aware that salvation is ours not merely by good works; that moral and spiritual values are far superior to a life lived merely by the prohibition of evil and the keep- ing of rituals. We have become new persons, re-born through the power of the Holy Spirit. UNITED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH 320 Ritson Road South (near Olive) 723-6325 ting family duty above duty to Christ. Discipleship cannot be put off; when God calls the resp must be immediate. Commit- ment requires the putting of God's Kingdom above all else, Guu wavrwooulg 2uL sant ARVs RESERVES OFFER The third man offered to join Christ after a visit home to set his affairs in order. Discipleship calls for much in the way of sacrifice and hard work, but the rewards are far beyond what must be given up. Once committed, we must not look back to the worldly life, for no man who looks back "'is fit for the Kingdom." Once com- mitted we must be resolved, steadfast, consecrated. The from Philipp is an exhortation for Christians not to seek glory, position, preference or game for them- selves, but to be humble and willing to give up all that is counted precious and priceless Sunday: | H E A R 10 A.M.----Sunday School | 11 A.M.--Morning Worship | 7:30 P.M.--Evangelistic | Wed. 8:00 P.M.--Bible Study and Prayer | Fri., 8:00 P.M.--Young People EVERYONE WELCOME The Whole Gospel to the Whole World The Back to the Bible Broadcast DAILY Mon, to Sat. 9:30 - 10:00 a.m. You are welcorie to these Services above, the fruits of the spirit: Love, joy, peace, and the mind of Christ with all His humility and power, Thus, by setting our affections on things above, by keeping our eyes and hearts firmly on Christ, we prepare ourselves for eternal fellowship with Him.
