For the greater glory of God

Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him. (Mark 1: 14-20)

In order to be saved by Jesus, we need to open our hearts and listen to His Word. With the indispensable help of Grace, we must try and put the Word of God into practice. To do so we must recognise Jesus as God and our Lord. Jesus is the Master of our lives. Only in this way can we admit that we need everything from God. That is why the first apostles left everything to follow Jesus. Likewise, this is why we, too, must do everything for the greater glory of God.
