The warning by Paul here was against the tendency to "beg off" from embracing God given responsibilities and it also replies to christians today. We realize that we need to be determined never to take our christian responsibilities lightly, or to allow our zeal for Gods service to deminish. After rendering sacred service is a matter of life or dealth.

What will help us to guard against excusing ourseives from fullfilling our obligations to God? One important way to fight that tendency is to regularly meditate on the meaning of our dedication vow. In erssence we promised God that we would put the doing of his will foremost in our lives,andwe want to keep that promise. Therefore, at times we need to ask ourselves: 'Do i still as determined to live up to my dedication to God as i did at the time of my baptism? Orhave i lost some of my initial zeal in the years since then.
