ALL THINGS IN HIM, OUR LIVES ENTIRELY FOR HIM
The Biblical Truth and Practice of “All in Christ” and “All for Christ”
Introduction: The Futility of Worldly Pursuits and the Call of Biblical Truth
Throughout human history, people have devoted their lives, energy, aspirations, and hopes to worldly careers, wealth, fame, and earthly relationships. Yet when economic circumstances change, suffering arises, or physical strength declines, they eventually discover that material possessions and worldly glory cannot provide everlasting peace.
When people place their ultimate hope in this temporary and fading world, they inevitably confront the emptiness of the human soul and the painful disappointment of misplaced expectations.
In response to humanity’s abandonment of the fountain of living water, biblical truth reveals a way of life established upon the eternal Rock: “All in Christ” and “All for Christ.”
These two declarations are far more than inspiring religious slogans. They express fundamental biblical truths that run throughout Scripture.
“All in Christ” reveals the ultimate source of our lives, our peace, and the fullness of God’s provision.
“All for Christ” expresses the ultimate purpose of our existence, the direction of our daily lives, and the goal of our obedience and complete dedication to God.
When these two great truths become deeply united in the lives of the disciples of Jesus, they produce a life that rises above worldly values, seeks to be pleasing to God, and reflects His glory and spiritual power.
Such a life is no longer centered on temporary earthly achievements but on the eternal purposes of God.
⸻
Part One: Receiving God’s Salvation — The Spiritual Transformation from Slavery to Sin to Redemption at a Great Price
Every genuine expression of “All in Christ” and “All for Christ” must begin with one fundamental spiritual reality: receiving God’s salvation.
Before receiving salvation, humanity exists under the bondage of sin, death, and the powers of darkness. No one can overcome this bondage or live fully for God through human strength alone.
John 3:16–17
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
These verses reveal the immeasurable love of God for humanity. Salvation originates not in human achievement but in God’s gracious initiative through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:7–10
“That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
The Apostle Paul makes it clear that salvation is God’s gracious gift, received through faith rather than earned through human accomplishments.
At the same time, those who are saved are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared for them to fulfill.
John 14:23
“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”
Jesus teaches that genuine love for Him is demonstrated through obedience to His Word.
Those who love Jesus and keep His commandments experience the promised fellowship and presence of the Father and the Son.
These passages together reveal that salvation is entirely grounded in God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, and expressed through a life of love and obedience.
Those who truly abide in Christ are called to demonstrate their faith by keeping His Word.
Our deliverance from the chains of sin does not arise from any personal virtue or good work in which we may boast.
It is made possible because Jesus Christ bore the cost of our sins through His sacrificial death on the cross.
1 Corinthians 6:19–20
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
When we receive God’s salvation through faith, a fundamental transformation of identity takes place.
We no longer belong to ourselves.
We no longer live under the ultimate authority of this world.
We belong to Jesus Christ, who has redeemed us at the immeasurable price of His precious blood.
We have become God’s treasured possession, called to holiness and obedience.
This magnificent salvation forms the foundation of our gratitude and our willingness to dedicate our entire lives to God.
⸻
Part Two: All in Christ — The Complete Source and Foundation of All Life
After receiving salvation, the disciples of Jesus begin to experience the spiritual reality of “All in Christ.”
Biblical truth reveals that Jesus Christ is central to human history, the created universe, and the ultimate purpose of our individual lives.
He is the One through whom all things were created, the One in whom all things hold together, and the One toward whom God’s eternal purposes are directed.
“All in Christ” means that every spiritual blessing necessary for salvation, spiritual life, righteousness, holiness, and eternal hope is found in Him.
1. Christ’s Supreme Authority over the Universe — All Things Exist Through Him and Are United in Him
Colossians 3:11
“Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.”
Colossians 1:15–17
“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
Ephesians 1:9–10
“Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him.”
These passages reveal the cosmic supremacy of Jesus Christ.
He is not merely an influential spiritual teacher or a significant figure in human history.
He is the One through whom all things were created and in whom all things hold together.
God’s eternal purpose is to bring all things together under Christ.
When we understand this truth, we no longer need to depend upon worldly powers, material possessions, or human institutions as the ultimate sources of our security.
Our Lord is the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the universe.
The One in whom we place our faith is greater than every earthly authority, every historical circumstance, and every temporary human achievement.
2. The Fullness of Deity Dwelling in Christ — Complete Spiritual Sufficiency in Him
Colossians 2:9–10
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.”
1 Corinthians 1:30
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”
Philippians 4:19
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
These passages reveal the extraordinary fullness available to those who belong to Christ.
When we lack wisdom to understand life’s challenges, Christ is our wisdom.
When we stand before God’s holy standard and recognize our sinfulness, Christ is our righteousness and redemption.
When we struggle against the corruption and temptations of this world, Christ is our sanctification.
When we encounter genuine needs, we may trust in God’s faithful provision through Jesus Christ.
This does not mean that following Jesus guarantees unlimited material wealth or freedom from earthly suffering.
Rather, it means that God’s grace is sufficient to sustain His people and provide what is necessary according to His wisdom and purposes.
In Christ, we find the spiritual fullness that the world can never provide.
⸻
Part Three: Dying with Christ and Living with Christ — The Crucifixion of the Old Self and the Awakening of New Life
Being “in Christ” is not merely a static religious identity.
It is a profound spiritual union with Jesus Christ.
One of the deepest expressions of this union is the biblical truth that we have died with Christ and are called to live with Christ.
Romans 6:3–5
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.”
Romans 6:8–11
“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
These passages reveal two fundamental dimensions of spiritual transformation.
1. Dying with Christ
When we place our faith in Jesus Christ, our old self—corrupted by sin, selfishness, pride, and rebellion against God—is identified with Christ in His crucifixion and burial.
This signifies that sin no longer possesses the rightful authority to rule our lives.
We are called to abandon our former patterns of disobedience, selfish ambition, and attachment to worldly desires.
The old life centered upon ourselves must give way to a new life centered upon Jesus Christ.
2. Living with Christ
Just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, those who belong to Him are called to walk in newness of life.
Through the power of His resurrection and the work of the Holy Spirit, we receive a new spiritual identity and the ability to live according to God’s will.
We are no longer called to remain enslaved to sinful desires.
Instead, we are called to live for God through Jesus Christ.
This spiritual union with Christ transforms our understanding of life itself.
Our former pride is challenged.
Our selfish ambitions are surrendered.
Our hearts are renewed.
Our lives become instruments through which the love, holiness, and righteousness of Christ may be revealed.
To die with Christ is to turn away from the dominion of sin. To live with Christ is to walk in the power of His resurrection.
⸻
Part Four: Becoming a Disciple of Jesus — The Cost of Following Christ and the Complete Transformation of Life
After receiving salvation and entering into a new life in Christ, a person encounters one of the Savior’s clearest and most demanding calls:
“Follow Me.”
Becoming a disciple of Jesus involves far more than listening to sermons, acquiring biblical knowledge, or participating in religious activities.
A true disciple is someone whose life is continually transformed through wholehearted obedience to Jesus Christ.
Matthew 16:24–25
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.”
Luke 14:26–27
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”
Luke 14:33
“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.”
The call of Jesus to discipleship is serious, demanding, and uncompromising.
In Luke 14:26, Jesus uses striking language to emphasize that loyalty to Him must take precedence over every other human attachment. This must be understood alongside His commandments to love others and honor one’s parents.
Those who desire to become His disciples must embrace three essential principles.
1. Absolute Priority — Loving and Obeying Christ Above All Else
Our love for Jesus Christ must take precedence over every earthly relationship, personal ambition, possession, and even our own lives.
This does not mean that we should abandon our responsibilities to family or cease loving others.
Rather, it means that our highest allegiance belongs to Jesus Christ.
No earthly relationship or personal interest should become more important than obeying His commandments.
2. Complete Self-Denial — Taking Up the Cross and Following Jesus
To deny ourselves means surrendering our claim to absolute control over our lives.
We must abandon the belief that our personal desires, ambitions, and judgments should always determine our actions.
Instead, we are called to take up our cross, submit to God’s will, and follow Jesus faithfully.
This is not a one-time emotional decision.
It is a lifelong practice of obedience, humility, sacrifice, and spiritual transformation.
3. Willingness to Forsake Everything — Placing All Possessions and Rights Under Christ’s Authority
Jesus calls His disciples to hold their earthly possessions with open hands.
Our wealth, property, abilities, opportunities, and personal rights must be surrendered to the authority of God.
We should be willing to use them for His Kingdom or relinquish them whenever obedience to Christ requires such sacrifice.
Discipleship is therefore not merely a religious educational program.
It is a lifelong journey of following Jesus Christ through complete dedication, obedience, and love.
⸻
Part Five: All for Christ — The Complete Surrender of Our Lives as Living Sacrifices
The natural expression of genuine discipleship is a life devoted to “All for Christ.”
Since Jesus Christ is the source of salvation, spiritual fullness, wisdom, righteousness, and eternal life, our appropriate response is to dedicate our entire existence to Him without reservation.
We are called to offer ourselves to God as holy and living sacrifices.
1. The Greatest Commandment — Loving God with All Our Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength
Mark 12:29–30
“And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
Philippians 3:7–9
“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”
The Apostle Paul considered his former achievements, social standing, and religious accomplishments insignificant compared with the surpassing value of knowing Jesus Christ.
He was willing to surrender everything in order to gain Christ and be found in Him.
This extraordinary decision arose from his recognition that Jesus Christ is the eternal treasure whose value exceeds every worldly possession and accomplishment.
When we truly understand the greatness of Christ, our priorities begin to change.
We no longer measure success primarily through wealth, recognition, power, or social position.
Instead, we seek to know God more deeply, love Him more completely, and obey Him more faithfully.
2. Living Sacrifices — Glorifying God in Every Aspect of Daily Life
Romans 12:1
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
1 Corinthians 10:31
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
Colossians 3:23–24
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”
These passages reveal that worship is not limited to religious gatherings, prayers, or sacred ceremonies.
Our entire lives can become expressions of worship when we offer ourselves to God.
In our workplaces, we should act with honesty, diligence, integrity, and love.
Within our families, we should demonstrate patience, compassion, responsibility, and forgiveness.
In our relationships, we should practice humility, kindness, and truth.
In our daily decisions, we should seek to honor God rather than satisfy selfish ambition.
When the disciples of Jesus perform ordinary responsibilities as service to the Lord, their daily activities become meaningful expressions of spiritual devotion.
Every action can become an offering of love to God. Every responsibility can become an opportunity to glorify Jesus Christ.
This is the practical meaning of “All for Christ.”
⸻
Part Six: Living for Christ and Dying for Christ — The Ultimate Declaration of Faithfulness unto Death
The highest expression of “All for Christ” is revealed in the disciple’s ultimate attitude toward life and death:
“To Live for Christ and to Die for Christ.”
When the love of Jesus Christ completely captures the human heart, neither life nor death remains the ultimate source of fear.
Instead, both become opportunities to glorify God.
2 Corinthians 5:14–15
“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”
Romans 14:7–9
“For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.”
The Apostle Paul expressed this extraordinary spiritual conviction while facing persecution, imprisonment, and the possibility of death.
Philippians 1:20–21
“According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
Acts 20:24
“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”
For someone who genuinely lives for Christ, the central purpose of earthly life is to magnify Jesus Christ.
Every day becomes an opportunity to serve Him, obey His commandments, proclaim His truth, and demonstrate His love.
When death eventually comes, the disciple who belongs to Christ may face it with the hope of eternal life and fellowship with the Lord.
This does not mean that human life should be treated carelessly or that suffering and death should be sought.
Rather, it means that fear of death must not become greater than faithfulness to Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul’s declaration expresses the profound confidence of someone whose life belongs entirely to the Lord.
To live is Christ. To die is gain.
Such faith cannot ultimately be defeated by worldly opposition, persecution, or the powers of darkness.
⸻
Part Seven: The Revelation of Truth — Living Entirely for Christ While Abiding in Christ
The two great spiritual truths, “All in Christ” and “All for Christ,” form the foundation and visible expression of the disciple’s life.
The first is the source and foundation.
The second is the fruit and manifestation.
Without the fullness of life found in Christ, attempting to live entirely for Him through human strength alone may lead to spiritual exhaustion and legalism.
Conversely, if we claim to be “in Christ” but refuse to dedicate our lives to Him, our profession of faith may become a form of self-centered religion that neglects the transforming power of God’s grace.
These two truths must therefore remain inseparable.
Galatians 2:20
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
This verse beautifully unites both spiritual realities.
The declaration “Christ liveth in me” reveals the profound reality of abiding in Christ and receiving life through Him.
The declaration that we now live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us, reveals the foundation of a life devoted entirely to Christ.
Romans 11:36
“For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”
This verse summarizes the ultimate relationship between all creation and God.
All things originate from Him.
All things exist through Him.
All things ultimately belong to Him and are directed toward His glory.
Within the wider biblical teaching concerning Christ, these truths illuminate the meaning of our spiritual calling.
All in Christ — because He is the source of our salvation, spiritual life, and eternal hope.
All for Christ — because our lives belong to Him and should be dedicated to His glory.
When these truths are united, our lives become expressions of gratitude, obedience, worship, and love.
⸻
Part Eight: Biblical Examples of Faithful Lives Throughout the History of God’s People
Throughout the biblical history of redemption, faithful servants of God demonstrated through their lives what it means to surrender everything to Him.
Their examples encourage us to understand and practice the truths of “All in Christ” and “All for Christ.”
1. Examples of Faith and Dedication in the Old Testament
Abraham — Complete Obedience and the Willingness to Offer Isaac
Genesis 22:2 records God’s command to Abraham:
“Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.”
Abraham’s willingness to obey God demonstrated extraordinary faith and surrender.
He was prepared to place even his beloved son Isaac into God’s hands.
His example reveals that genuine faith involves trusting God beyond personal understanding and surrendering what we value most.
The biblical account also reveals that God intervened and provided a ram in Isaac’s place.
Abraham’s obedience therefore points not to a general requirement for human sacrifice, but to profound trust in God’s faithfulness and provision.
Moses — Choosing to Suffer with God’s People Rather Than Enjoy the Treasures of Egypt
Hebrews 11:24–26
“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.”
Moses rejected the privileges and treasures associated with Pharaoh’s household.
Instead, he chose to identify himself with God’s people and endure suffering.
He valued faithfulness to God above temporary earthly prosperity.
His example teaches us that spiritual obedience may require surrendering worldly advantages for the sake of God’s eternal purposes.
2. The Faithful Examples of the Disciples and Apostles in the New Testament
The First Disciples — Leaving Everything to Follow Jesus
Matthew 4:20 records the response of Peter and Andrew when Jesus called them:
“And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.”
Their immediate response illustrates the willingness of genuine disciples to place the call of Jesus above their previous occupations and personal plans.
They did not merely admire His teachings.
They responded through action.
Their willingness to leave their nets demonstrates that discipleship requires more than intellectual agreement.
It requires obedience.
The Apostle Paul — A Life of Sacrifice and Faithfulness unto Death
Throughout his ministry, Paul endured beatings, imprisonment, stoning, shipwrecks, opposition, and many other hardships.
Yet he remained committed to proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
According to early church tradition, Paul was eventually martyred in Rome.
His life became a powerful testimony to the declaration:
“To Live for Christ and to Die for Christ.”
Paul did not regard worldly comfort, personal reputation, or physical security as more important than fulfilling the ministry entrusted to him by Jesus.
His example continues to inspire the disciples of Jesus to remain faithful amid suffering and adversity.
⸻
Part Nine: Reigning with Christ — The Promise of Eternal Glory and Our Ultimate Hope
One of the most extraordinary promises revealed in Scripture is that those who belong to Christ, remain faithful to Him, endure suffering, and persevere in their spiritual calling will share in His eternal glory.
The Bible describes this glorious hope as “reigning with Christ.”
2 Timothy 2:11–12
“It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.”
Romans 8:16–17
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
Revelation 22:5
“And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.”
These passages reveal the magnificent eternal hope prepared for God’s people.
The promise of reigning with Christ demonstrates that earthly suffering, self-denial, and faithful service are not without eternal significance.
The hardships of this present life cannot be compared with the glory that God will reveal.
2 Corinthians 4:17
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”
Paul reminds us that present suffering is temporary when compared with the eternal glory promised by God.
When Christ returns and God’s eternal purposes are fulfilled, those who belong to Him will share in His glorious Kingdom according to His promises.
This hope gives meaning to perseverance, obedience, sacrifice, and faithful discipleship.
It reminds us that the ultimate reward of following Jesus is not worldly recognition, material prosperity, or political authority.
It is eternal fellowship with God and participation in the glory of Christ.
Those who faithfully follow Jesus in this present life may look forward to the eternal Kingdom that will never fade away.
⸻
Part Ten: Spiritual Conclusion — Responding to God’s Calling and Living a Life of Complete Dedication
When we carefully examine the confusion, noise, anxiety, and uncertainty of contemporary society, we discover that much human suffering arises from misplaced priorities.
People attempt to find eternal security in a constantly changing world.
They invest their most precious time and energy in temporary possessions, achievements, and relationships that cannot provide ultimate spiritual fulfillment.
They pursue earthly success while neglecting the eternal purpose for which they were created.
Against this background, the biblical truths of “All in Christ” and “All for Christ” offer a profound and enduring direction for human life.
These truths reveal a spiritual journey with four essential dimensions.
1. Receiving God’s Salvation
Through God’s grace and faith in Jesus Christ, we are delivered from the bondage of sin.
We are redeemed at the immeasurable price of Christ’s precious blood.
Our lives no longer belong to ourselves but to the Lord who has saved us.
2. Receiving the Fullness of Life in Christ
In Christ, we receive the spiritual blessings necessary for salvation, righteousness, holiness, and eternal hope.
Through our union with Him, we are called to die to sin and live a new life in the power of His resurrection.
3. Becoming Faithful Disciples of Jesus
We are called to deny ourselves, take up our cross, surrender our earthly attachments, and follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
Our lives should demonstrate the commitment:
“To Live for Christ and to Die for Christ.”
We are called to remain faithful to Him throughout our earthly journey, even when obedience involves sacrifice or suffering.
4. Looking Forward to Reigning with Christ in Eternal Glory
We live with the hope of God’s eternal promises.
We anticipate the fulfillment of His Kingdom and the glorious future prepared for those who belong to Jesus Christ.
This eternal hope gives us strength to persevere in faith, love, humility, and obedience.
Jesus Christ has already demonstrated the immeasurable greatness of His love through His sacrifice on the cross.
He willingly gave His life for our redemption.
He poured out His precious blood for our salvation.
Through Him, God has revealed the extraordinary riches of His grace and mercy.
In this present generation, God continues to call His children to a life of wholehearted devotion.
May we no longer remain trapped in hesitation, spiritual compromise, or attachment to temporary worldly achievements.
Instead, through the power of the Holy Spirit, may we courageously respond to the calling of Jesus Christ.
May every step of our daily lives reflect our love for Him.
May every decision in our workplaces demonstrate our obedience to His commandments.
May every responsibility within our families reveal His compassion and truth.
May every opportunity become an occasion to glorify God.
And may we joyfully declare before heaven and earth:
ALL IN CHRIST!
ALL FOR CHRIST!
All that we are and all that we have find their ultimate spiritual meaning in Jesus Christ.
All that we do and all that we hope to become should be dedicated to His glory.
This is not merely a path toward spiritual fulfillment and freedom.
It is the most beautiful, sincere, and glorious response that redeemed human beings can offer to their Creator and Savior.
May all glory, honor, praise, and thanksgiving belong to God who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb, forever and ever.
Amen!
