Suppose God tells you to do something that doesn\u2019t square with your common sense. What are you going to do? Hang back? If this is your inclination, watch out. If you develop the habit of avoidance in your physical life, the habit will rule you until you break it. The same is true in your spiritual life. Again and again you will come to what Jesus Christ wants from you, and again and again you will turn back. \u201cBut suppose I obey God in this matter,\u201d you say. \u201cWhat about my concerns? I can only obey God if his command follows common sense. Don\u2019t ask me to take a step in the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus Christ demands that we display the same reckless, daring attitude in spiritual life that the boldest among us display in natural life. If you\u2019re going to do anything worthwhile, sometimes you have to risk everything and leap. In the spiritual realm, Jesus Christ demands that you leap into what he says, risking everything common sense has taught you. The instant you do, you\u2019ll find that his command makes perfect spiritual sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Measured by the standard of common sense, Jesus Christ\u2019s statements may seem insane. But if you measure them by the standard of faith, you will find that they are the words of God. Trust entirely in God, and when he brings you to the precipice of a challenge . . . leap. We act like pagans in a crisis: only one in a crowd is daring enough to risk everything on the character of God.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Misalkan Tuhan menyuruh Anda melakukan sesuatu yang tidak sesuai dengan akal sehat Anda. Apa yang akan Anda lakukan? Menahan diri? Jika ini adalah kecenderungan Anda, berhati-hatilah. Jika Anda mengembangkan kebiasaan menghindar dalam kehidupan fisik Anda, kebiasaan itu akan menguasai Anda sampai Anda menghentikannya.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2038,"template":"","collection":[],"class_list":["post-13735","modern-classic","type-modern-classic","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/utmost.org\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/modern-classic\/13735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/utmost.org\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/modern-classic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/utmost.org\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/modern-classic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/utmost.org\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/modern-classic\/13735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utmost.org\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/utmost.org\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/utmost.org\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=13735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
