Sold Out?

Ephesians 4: 1            ESV

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called...

I’ve taken the liberty to ask a few people over the course of the last few weeks, what it means to be... “sold out” for Christ.

It’s kind of an overused term, and sometimes even cliché.

Here are some of the responses I received:

“It means that a person has come to the end of themselves.”

“It means you’re all in.”

“There’s no room for compromise.”

“It means you’re not lukewarm.”

“Sold out means you love Jesus with reckless abandon.”

“Self is no longer on the throne of my life.”

So considering all these responses, how many “sold out” Christians have you met in your life?

I also asked the question this way to one person: “If you’re a “sold out” Green Bay Packer fan, what would you do to prove your loyalty?”

The answer: “I’d stand in line for two weeks, just to get tickets on the 50 yard line.”

It appears that we’re sold out to a lot of things. I have to wonder sometimes if I’m... “sold out”?

I wonder if my wife would say I’m, “sold out”?

I have often considered this thought, when reflecting on the subject we’re on this morning.

“The thing or things we spend the most time with, are the things we love the most.”

I love the differing answers that people gave.

Now I need to prayerfully consider if that’s really the way I feel, and if it’s how I truthfully operate...
