About This Quote

How many of you have heard the quote “My biggest fear, even now, is that I will hear Jesus’ words and walk away, content to settle for less than radical obedience to Him.” The idea that we should settle for less than radical obedience to God has been a part of Christian culture since the early church. The idea that we should only follow the teachings of Jesus if they are easy is a common one, but it can be dangerous. We cannot always look to the “easiest” ways to follow Christ and expect our faith to stand strong. God’s way is often hard and takes commitment and perseverance. If we want to grow spiritually we need to expect ourselves and others to do what we know is right, despite how much it may hurt or how hard it will be.
