Preparation
Living a life that matters, a life lived fully in the plans and preparations that God has made for us, isn't easy. We certainly have all of the time in the world but we don't always make the most of that time, do we? We all want to live a meaningful life and have some assurance that we're involved in God's plans for us, but what if Christ made some requirements of us in order for that to happen? Certainly God paid the price to redeem and prepare us for his life in Christ, yet it seems fairly certain that Christ laid out some pretty clear and specific things that we must do in order to be prepared for all that God has for us. God prepared good works for us to do and has told us to get ourselves prepared to do those good works. They are high requirements. What will keep you from preparing to live in God's fullness of life?
