Is the life you are living worth keeping?Are you striving to gain the precious pleasure and treasures of this world ,only to lose your soul?Are you willing to lose everything to follow the Lord?Have you made a new life with Christ your choice?
Jesus said those who seek to save their life shall lose it.Those who hold on to the old man, those who seek or look for ways to serve God and mammon,they shall lose their life.But those who are willing to forsake all, those who are willing to die to the old man and live a new life in Christ shall save theirs. Now Christ is not saying we cannot enjoy the good things he has created.No it is not a sin to have riches, or to own things, or even be successful. But like he told the rich young ruler,we too must be willing to let go of everthing to follow God.Many have put the blessing ahead of the blessor.We have made the things God has blessed us with our gods.The new house now get our tithes, the new car gets our offering and the new wife/husband gets all our attention and devotion, andGod gets what ever is left.God doesn't bless us with things that will pull us away from Him. If there is anything in your life that is pulling you out of fellowship with God,you might want to get rid of it. You cannot serve two masters.
There are many things that we have in our life that we put ahead of God.Many things and people we hold to actually hinder our walk with the Lord.These things we should get rid of.Let us not seek to hold on to the old life,but be wiling to die to the old life, and trust Christ in the new life.Trust that he will supply our every need
