Main Thought
Successful relationships require commitment. A relationship with God is no different. Sometimes, we don’t fully commit to following God because we’re afraid we’ll miss out on something. We might also be overcommitted to other things. But we’ll experience our best lives when we follow God wholeheartedly! This kind of commitment reflects God’s heart and character. Jesus was fully committed to saving us, even when He had to die on a Cross to do so. To follow Jesus wholeheartedly as disciples, we must exercise the “Three Fs”: Follow God, Fish for Men, and Fellowship with the Church.
