God will test our hunger for Him by asking us what we are willing to sacrifice.

Dr. Tony Evans says our obedience to the Lord always leads to the blessing of deeper fellowship.

I know the test is hard, but God will reward your passion in a way that's greater than your sacrifice.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the

archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Most of us think we're giving God our best when we sacrifice our time or treasure for him.

But are we holding back?

Today, Dr. Evans explains that we really won't know until we're tested,

and that's when we discover the real price of spiritual passion. Let's turn to Genesis chapter 22,

as Dr. Evans brings us today's message. The first principle I want to share with you is that God

will test our hunger for him by what we are willing to sacrifice.

It's one thing to say you're hungry for God.

It's another thing to be willing to sacrifice because you're that hungry.

And there's only one way I know for you to know

and validate that you are as hungry for God

as you say you are.

The Bible calls it a test.

The question about how hungry you are

will be tested.

Because you recall the passion of our lives must be for God and not merely his gifts.

God does not mind giving out of his hand as long as what you want is his heart.

He is not interested in being your genie in a bottle.
