So many people think that the Gospel is for lost people. The Gospel IS for lost people. But it is even MORE for converted people. The more you and I understand about what truly happened on that cross, the more you and I will be driven to serve Christ. Not out of legalism, not out of some fear or dread, but simply out of joyful appreciation: LOOK WHAT CHRIST DID FOR ME!
Paul Washer

In the same way, when you obey Me you should say, 'We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.'
Luke 17:10
Unswerving Devotion to Christ
by J. C. Ryle
As a soldier follows his general, as the servant follows his master, as the scholar follows his teacher, as the sheep follows its shepherd, so ought the professing Christian to follow Christ.
Faith and obedience are the leading marks of real followers, and will always be seen in true believing Christians. Their knowledge may be very small, and their infirmities very great; their grace very weak, and their hope very dim. But they believe what Christ says, and they strive to do what Christ commands.
“Christianity like this, receives little praise from man. It is too thorough, to decided, too strong, too real. To serve Christ in name and form is easy work, and satisfies most people; but to follow Him in faith demands more trouble than the generality of men will take about their souls. Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution are often the only reward which Christ’s followers get from the world.
Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion
Devotional for June 27
Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven't done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” - Mark 10:21
Insight
What does your money mean to you? Although Jesus wanted this man to sell everything and give his money to the poor, this does not mean that all believers should sell all their possessions. Most of his followers did not sell everything, although they used their possessions to serve others. Instead, this story shows us that we must not let anything we have or desire keep us from following Jesus. We must remove all barriers to serving him fully.
Challenge
If Jesus asked, could you give up your house? Your car? Your level of income? Your position on the ladder of promotion? Your reaction may show your attitude toward money—whether it is your servant or your master.

Put Into Practice Your Godly Convictions
by J. C. Ryle
I want you to beware of letting good thoughts and godly convictions slip away, if you have them. Cherish them and nourish them, lest you lose them for ever.
Make the most of them, lest they take to themselves wings and flee away. Have you an inclination to begin praying? Put it in practice at once. Have you an idea of beginning really to serve Christ? Set about it at once. Are you enjoying any spiritual light? See that you live up to your light. Trifle not with opportunities, lest the day come when you will want to use them, and not be able. Linger not, lest you become wise too late.

Whose Applause Are You Living For?
DID YOU KNOW Did You Know that God invites you to live for an audience of One because every life will one day be examined before Christ Himself? This truth, drawn from 2 Corinthians 5:9–11, reshapes how we look at our daily choices, our motivations, and the “grandstand” whose approval we seek. Paul tells us plainly that “we make it our goal to please Him,” not because God is harsh or demanding,…
If we are in Christ, then let us do all that we can to reflect Him and His nature, and let's not think it insufficient that His redeeming love is enough for us but that we must work to earn or maintain that love. If God loves us, then He had loved us, and will continue to love us despite ourselves.
If we could lose salvation, we all would be damned, but as salvation is the Lord's to authorize then let's remember that none of His ever leave His hand. Knowing this, I pray that we all would be motivated, filled by the spirit to do the work He has commanded us to do, and that we would do so eagerly and joyfully.
Prayer: Father God, in Christ's name I ask you to make us good servants. To get our eyes and hearts off of the world and ourselves and instead upon you. Amen.
