“Giving Everything to the Lord” While this expression is not found in the Bible, the thought is there. We need to think about what this idea means. Furthermore, what it should mean for our way of living.

“Giving Everything to the Lord” (Eccl. 2:24; 12:13-14)

Giving Everything to the Lord I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. ~ Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV)

Giving Everything to the Lord And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. ~ Romans 6:13 (NKJV)

Giving Everything to the Lord "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.” ~ Luke 14:26 (NKJV)

How can we give ALL to the Lord? Am I to give all of my time to the Lord? My time is all given to Him when I make up my mind that everything I spend my time doing is going to be balanced, and it is going to be according to God’s will (Cf. 2 Thess. 3:10; Col. 3:17)

How can we give ALL to the Lord? Am I to give all of my time to the Lord? Am I to give all of my money to the Lord? Every use of our money is to glorify God in some way. (Lk. 12:13-21; Jas. 4:1-3)

How can we give ALL to the Lord? Am I to give all of my time to the Lord? Am I to give all of my money to the Lord? Am I to give all my love to God? My love is totally given to God, when I discharge my love for others in the way He teaches. (Mt. 10:37, 22:37-40; 1 Jn. 4:20)

How can we give ALL to the Lord? Is our thinking to be given to the Lord? My thoughts must be in keeping with God’s wishes. (Mt. 5:28; Phil. 4:7-8; 2 Cor. 10:5)

How can we give ALL to the Lord? Is our thinking to be given to the Lord? Are my words to be given to the Lord? My words are given to God when I am totally guided by Him in my use of my tongue. (Jas. 3; Col. 4:5-6; Eph. 4:29)

How can we give ALL to the Lord? Is our thinking to be given to the Lord? Are my words to be given to the Lord? Is my every deed to be devoted to Him? I am not to neglect the particular responsibilities I owe God; I am to do no deeds that God does not approve; I am to be guided by God in all things. (Rom. 14:8; Eph. 4, 5, 6)

How can we give ALL to the Lord? Is our thinking to be given to the Lord? Are my words to be given to the Lord? Is my every deed to be devoted to Him? Is my life to be given to Him? How do I give my life to God? By doing God’s will, even if it requires sacrifice and loss. (1 Cor. 6:20; Lk. 9:23-25)

“Giving Everything to the Lord” While this expression is not found in the Bible, the thought is there. We need to think about what this idea means. Furthermore, what it should mean for our way of living.

“Giving Everything to the Lord” Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all. 14 For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil. ~ Eccl 12:13-14 (NKJV)
