The Standard of Consecration

THE extent of God's great goodness to us should be the standard of our consecration to him. Instead of sparingly giving him a small portion of our time and service, in hopes of receiving his blessing therefor, let us, the rather, hold our all at his entire disposal, because of the fullness of his blessing already given us. The love of God was manifested toward us even while we were dead in sins, and the gift of his grace came to us, not because of our own good works, but because of our faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord, who paid the penalty for our transgressions, and allowed us to go free in his name.
