The wicked things to God
of the kingdom of God because you believe in Jesus. But it
says that God will surely reward you many times as much
when you firmly abandon the things that you must discard
for the sake of your faith. I have certainly experienced that
God has rewarded everything when we gave up everything
for the sake of our faith. I have seen clearly that God has
rewarded when we cleanly gave up something for the sake of
our faith, instead of fighting each other as if we cannot live
without it, and instead of arguing and fighting each other
about something belongs to ours or not. It means, if you
want to die for believing in Jesus, then you will live, and if
you can give up something that you must give up, and if you
rather yield to others, then God will reward you. And it says
such faith has no reason to fail to receive eternal life.
So faith does not take an easy way. In faith, there is
nothing about ‘roughly doing’. The Bible does not say to do
things roughly. Even in the family relationship, if you truly
believe in Jesus, it says that you must abandon the cosmos
world and turn around by faith, but it does not say to com-
promise at all. Jesus said that love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your mind and with all your soul and
with all your strength, but He never said that love Him mod-
erately. Faith is to follow the way of God. Faith is not to be
the double-minded opportunist who says Amen when things
are favorable, but who says excuses when things are not.
