Have you ever wondered why people who all testify that they have met the Savior, Jesus Christ, and have been redeemed by Him seem to have such a wide array of differing responses to this gift of life through Christ? Why are some so drastically changed? Why do others seem to live indifferently to His gift to them? Some Christians seem to sell out this world in order to pursue Christ while others seem to sell out Christ in pursuit of the priorities of this world. Some serve, pray, give, and sacrifice for the glory of Jesus while others who also say that they know Christ as Lord live unashamedly for themselves. The bottom line question is, “Do these two very different groups have an equal eternal destiny and reward?” There is an account in the Book of numbers that presents a powerful illustration of these very issues. Moses forcefully calls some half-hearted Israelites into an intense accountability as they sought to shirk their responsibility to join the other tribes in conquering the promised Land. Christians today do well to take note of this, finish out what we committed to God, and receive the full reward of our inheritance.
