Salvation to Service.

After reading and meditating on 1 Peter 1:1-5, I started thinking of how blessed I am to have receive salvation from the death of Christ. I wanted to share an excerpt from today's journal entry:

My salvation from the Lord is one of a kind, it will never fade away, be destroyed, and is purely holy; it's definitely something my horrible, finite self doesn't deserve. But yet Christ still died on the cross. The LEAST I could do is give God my life, and the things I hold on to, that causes me to sin. I praise God for allowing to really enjoy serving others, because I get to do something I love, and more importantly glorifies God. I pray that I might be able to do it at home as well... Everything that I do should serve God. Why? Because I'm His slave and He is my master.

The only right response to Christ's lordship is wholehearted submission, loving obedience and passionate worship.¹
