For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. (Isaiah 30:15)
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:33)
Milagros García Klibansky

The value of renunciation

Judaism requires converts to live within 2 km of the synagogue, as a sacrifice to their spiritual life. However, as Christians, we should not see giving up certain things as sacrifices, but rather as resignations to prioritize our relationship with God. Every person's relationship with God is unique and there is no pre-established pattern to follow. We should not impose our own lifestyles on others, but rather focus on our own hearts and where our treasure lies. The apostle Paul's example of counting all things as loss for the sake of Christ is a model for us to follow. Recommended reading: Titus 2 and 3. Read more...
