There are many popular myths, urban legends and false teachings circulating within the Church. Too many Christians have had their faith derailed because of these myths and false teachings. One common myth is the false belief that God is looking for willing hearts! Believing a willing heart is all that is needed to follow Christ is completely unbiblical. Nothing could be further from the truth! Jesus called His disciples to sacrifice everything to follow Him. The Christian life is about sacrifice ... NOT a willingness to sacrifice. It takes more than a willing heart to follow Christ.
Let's face it, if having a willing heart was all it took, it would be too easy. Anyone can be willing to give up everything to follow Christ. Jesus NEVER called anyone to be willing ... He called them to ACTION. Abraham was called to leave his homeland and follow Christ to an unknown country. Moses, Joseph, David, Esther, Paul, Peter ... the list goes on and on.
The call to follow Christ takes ACTION ... NOT a willing heart.
