Faith in Nothing and For Nothing

It is impossible to gauge our love for Christ apart from what we tangibly do for Him. We are entrusted with a heavenly task and it is only in the performing of that task that we find the assurance and confidence of our union with Him. To say I love Him and then refuse to serve Him, reveals the disingenuous nature of the heart, for without service, no faith worth mentioning exists. Faith without service is belief in nothing, and for nothing.  As Christ proclaimed, “Unless you take up your cross “emphasis added” you cannot be my follower.”  Today, consider the weight of the burden you claim to bear for Christ sake…if it be any burden at all, knowing it is the truest measure of your love for Him!
