You’re going to see one word come up over and over again in this study—commitment. Jesus spent three years fulfilling His earthly ministry, and during those three years He talked a lot about commitment. In fact, Jesus made it clear that commitment was a key part of being a follower of Christ. In the Gospels, we see many examples of people who followed Jesus because of what they hoped He could offer them, but they weren’t truly committed to Christ. When Jesus encountered these folks, He consistently challenged them to “count the cost” of following Him. We’re going to look at the call on the Christian life to be committed to Christ, His Word, the church, prayer, worship and His mission. We’ll see that, before God calls us to commit to Him in this way, He’s already committed to us.
