In my devotion I read this morning there is a 14 year old boy who accepted Christ as his Savior and now he wants to be a martyr. His mom not even knowing for sure if he even understood what a martyr is, she asked him and he replied to her "Someone who is willing to die for his faith", then he looked at his mom with tears I'm sure in his eyes and said that's what kind of faith I want mom.
It's not that he really wanted to die, but he finally found something in his life worth dying for, instead of all the stuff that faces teenagers today that are meaningless.
In this book here is a conclusion to this question:
The call is loud and clear - Jesus is worth living and dying for. Jesus is worth living life to the fullest. Jesus is worth dying to self-centered desires. Jesus is worth living as if every day could be our last. Jesus is worth dying to a life that is all about us.
Identify on a scale of one to ten your level of commitment to your faith, then in prayer, seek God's direction on how to increase your level.
