Many Christians today, if we could look at them through spiritual glasses, of course they're saved because they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, but if we looked at them through spiritual glasses, they're not fit. They're out of shape, right? They would not be fit for the kingdom of God. There's a big difference between just being saved and actually being a disciple of Christ, actually being one of his elite troops in the Lord's army that knows how to keep praying, that's not of a double heart, that is denying self and taking up the cross and following Jesus. Hey, how many Christians today in Texas, they just don't want to sacrifice anything. They want a Christianity that costs nothing. They want to walk with God that costs them nothing. They want to have everything that the world has to offer and just add Jesus as an icing on the cake. But the reality is today that we as Christians must be willing to sacrifice for the Lord. And whatever that sacrifice is that he calls upon us to make, we need to be ready to make that sacrifice and not just the first little bit of tribulation or affliction, we just fall away. We just faint. You know, the sun comes up and the wind blows and we're just kind of scorched and we get smoked and we blow away. No, no, we need to be rooted down deep in the things of God, steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord because we know that our labor is not in vain in the Lord.
