UNHOOK THE CHAIN

Jesus made it clear to His friends that He is “the way and the truth and the life” (JOHN 14:6). He is the only way to the Father, and our trust and commitment to Him should lead to love and obedience in our lives—and we know we can live in Jesus’ home in heaven after we die.
Christina, a Bible student, wrote this: “Jesus died for everyone, even the most desperate sinner. The worst criminal who comes to Him in faith, God will accept.

“For a very long time, Jesus had been knocking at my door. Figuratively speaking, the door to my heart was open. I was a Christian. But I kept the safety chain in place. I would not turn my life over to Him.”

Christina knew this was not right, and she felt that God was telling her to make a change. “I knelt before Him and opened the door as wide as I could.” She took off the safety chain.

Committed followers of Jesus will do what He commands—without safety chains or a ‘Plan B’. No dark little corners of our lives all for ourselves.

If, like Christina, you’ve been holding back from giving your life to God, it’s time to unhook that safety chain. Let go of those fears. Throw open the doors of your life, and experience the happiness and satisfaction of belonging to Jesus every moment of every day.

Jesus, please help there to be more of You and less of me every day!

NO LIFE IS MORE SECURE THAN A LIFE
BELONGING TO GOD.
