Matthew 10:32-42
Whoever will confess me before men, I will confess him also before my Father which is in heaven.
But whoever will deny me before men, him I will also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Don’t think that I am come to send peace into the earth, but the sword.
For I have come to set a man at conflict against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
And a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.
For the one that loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me.
And the one that loves son, or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
And the one that does not take his cross, and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
He that will find his life will lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake will find it.
The ones that receive you receive me: and the ones that receive me receive Him that sent me.
The one that receives a Prophet in the name of a Prophet will receive a Prophet’s reward: and the one that receives a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, will receive the reward of a righteous man.
And whoever will give to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, in the name of a disciple, I truly say to you, he will not lose his reward.
Giving of life,
to confess Jesus before others is giving your life,
to give of what you have is giving your life,
being aware of the needs of others and doing what you can to meet that need is giving of your life.
The lord said that the greatest gift a man can give for another is his life, if we are truly relying on and trusting in Christ for of all are needs and desires, giving of or losing our lives will mean nothing for our whole purpose will be to give, give our lives first to God than for others.
So try this spend today, stand firm in Christ, don't compromise your faith when others disagree with Gods word, trying not to hold on to everything as if it is your life try not being selfish, let go trust God and give of your life so you can find true eternal life.
