When ordinary people have commitment they can make extraordinary impact on their world. It's all about commitment. Webster's Dictionary defines the word commitment as, "To bind as by promise; pledge." Have you made a legitimate commitment to Christ to be your Savior and Lord? Have you made a commitment to follow Christ in how you live your life?
Scripture tells us in Romans, "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the died, you will be saved, For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Rom. 10:9-10 NKJV).
When you believe in something, the commitment you make is easier to keep. John Maxwell, in his book The 17 Essential Qualities Of A Team Player says, "People don't really know whether they are committed to something until they face adversity. Struggles strengthen a persons resolve."
Adversity fosters commitment, and commitment fosters hard work. The more you work at something, the less likely you are to give upon it. As NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi said, "The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender." Committed people don't surrender easily.
I encourage you to be committed to Christ.
