"Committed to Christ"

Romans 12:1 "I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

Commitment: "The act or process of consigning, delivering or entrusting, as for safekeeping." Here in Romans 12 we find commitment is defined for us. The Lord wants us to put our trust in Him for safekeeping. Not just part of our trust but our full trust, our whole body. Our whole body means everything there that defines who we are. When you think about it, it means what we eat, where we live, where we go, what we wear, what we say, what we think, etc. All of these things are to be committed to Christ for His safekeeping.

For those of us who are Christians, commitment is not optional. It is a demand from Christ. We must serve God in His timing and under His conditions. If we are going to live our lives committed to Christ we are going to have to have patience and perseverance in the race of life.

So go ahead, commit your life to Christ for his safekeeping. It is truly a reasonable life to live.
