The Consequences of My Devotion to God on Others

Written By Ricardo McGee

Luke 23:26

By adhering to God's commands, the burden of the consequences falls more heavily on others rather than on ourselves, initiating the onset of suffering. When we have a deep affection for our Lord, obeying Him does not require any sacrifice—it brings us joy. However, for those who do not have affection for Him, our compliance entails a significant expense. Complying with God's commands will result in the disruption of other individuals' intentions. They will mock us, questioning the authenticity of our Christianity. If we adhere to God's commands, we may not be able to alleviate the suffering. We must provide for the payment of the expense.

When the consequences of our compliance start to inconvenience others, our innate arrogance becomes deeply rooted, and we adamantly declare, "I will never receive anything from anyone." However, we are obligated to do so, else we would be defying God's commands. We are not entitled to believe that the nature of our interactions with others should deviate in any way from the connections that the Lord Himself had (see to Luke 8:1-3).

Insufficient advancement in our spiritual journey occurs when we attempt to shoulder all the expenses on our own. Regrettably, we are unable to do so. Our obedience to God has an immediate impact on others due to our deep involvement in His universal goals. Will we maintain unwavering loyalty in our adherence to God's commands and be prepared to endure the shame of rejecting self-reliance? Alternatively, will we adopt a contrasting approach and assert, "I will refrain from inflicting suffering upon others"? It is within our power to defy God if we so desire, which may provide instant respite to the current circumstances, but it will cause deep sorrow to our divine ruler. Nevertheless, if we adhere to God's commands, He will provide for those who have endured the repercussions of our compliance. We must unconditionally comply and entrust all the repercussions to Him.

Be cautious of the tendency to stipulate to God the specific outcomes that you would accept as a prerequisite for your compliance with His commands.
