We live at a time when the most important question seems to be, “How does it make you feel?” When feelings are king, commitment tends to fade into the background for the simple reason that commitment often requires us to dismiss our feelings to do what is right and necessary. Many are unwilling to do that, and the result is more self-centered individualism. A lack of commitment can lead people to go through life alone.
Interestingly, when we see how God works among human beings, the word “commitment” aptly describes his actions. God is 100% faithful to the human race. He’s not giving up on us and he’s not going to let negative feelings caused by our rebellion against him in any way dampen that commitment. Regardless of the personal cost, God comes to people with the offer of a renewed relationship with him which has no strings attached. The cross of Jesus Christ is the ultimate expression of his commitment to our eternal good.
This Sunday, we’re going to be studying the life of Abraham. We often think of this man’s strong faith in God which he demonstrated over a period of many years. But the real story is that Abraham’s faith was the product of God’s commitment to him. If you’ve got the strange feeling that maybe feelings are being overrated, join us for our worship service. Experiencing God’s commitment has a powerful way of changing the way we look at things.
