Prenuptial Christians

I’m sure some of you are familiar with the meaning, especially concerning people getting remarried, of having a prenuptial agreement. I believe most people reading this understand what I’m talking about. But I’d like for you to consider something else. In the church realm I truly believe we have some people who attend church and have done the very same thing, maybe without even realizing it.

The bigger problem here is God doesn’t recognize such agreements. They basically are just one-sided. You see, God wants either all of your life or nothing. You either belong to Him or you don’t. God’s not interested in you getting to keep some of your stuff when you turn your life over to Him.

There is an event found in God’s Word in Matthew 19:16-22 where a man wanted to follow Jesus, but Jesus pointed out that unless the man gave up all, then he could not follow Him. Today there are probably millions sitting in churches who think they’ve struck some deal with Jesus and are on their way to heaven but, in reality, are in just as much trouble with their eternal souls as the dirtiest sinner in town.

Make sure today that you haven’t tried to hold on to your life and live for Jesus at the same time. It doesn’t work, and the results have terrible eternal consequences. Examine your life with Christ Jesus each day, and let Him have all of you.
