Christ Has Such Infinite Riches and Glory that He Deserves Total Obedience, and Christ is Such a Heavenly, Spiritual, Divine Gift that unless we Give Up Everything, our hearts cannot be Filled With Him.
And So Jesus Says, Forsake All And Follow Me.
Apart from His Own Will, God is not satisfied with anything else.
Apart from His Own Power, He is not interested in any other.
Everything done without Clearly Knowing the Will of God is a sin in His Eyes.
Everything done without Depending On Him is also sin.
How Long?
Exercise Patience!
The Time of Patience has not yet expired.
When God Pours Out His Wrath Upon the earth, then the Time of Patience will be over.
Meanwhile, He Calls Upon His People to Share With Him In It.
Seated On His Throne, He Dispenses His Gifts, Bestows His Spirit, and never ceases in Love to Watch and to Work for those who are His.

JOHN 16.26-27
In that day you will make request in My Name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you, for the Father Himself cherishes you, because you have cherished Me, and you have believed that I came forth from God;

HEBREWS 9.14
how much more will the blood of the Christ (who through the perpetual Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
