Consecration
For the love of Christ constrained us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died; and he died
for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose
again.
II Cor. 5:14-15
Af ter we are constrained by love and purchased by His blood, he needs one more act of our will. T his extra
step puts us in the position of true consecration. Being constrained by the Lord’s love and knowing that we
have been purchased, we quietly set ourselves apart f rom everything in order to be wholly the Lord’s. T his is
consecration. It is the acceptance of a holy calling, an election to the highest of f ice of serving the Lord. “O
Lord, being loved, what else can I do than to separate myself f rom everything that I may serve You? Hereaf ter
no one may use my hands or feet or mouth or ears, f or these my two hands are to do Your works, my two
f eet to walk in Your way, my mouth to sing Your praise, and my ears to listen to Your voice.” This is
consecration.
