give up anything rather than go against Him

give up anything rather than go against Him

I love the way this reads.

I love the way life works when God’s people live this way.

Q & A 94 Heidleberg Catechism

Q. What does the Lord require in the first commandment?

A. That I, not wanting to endanger my very salvation, avoid and shun all idolatry, magic, superstitious rites, and prayer to saints or to other creatures. That I sincerely acknowledge the only true God, trust him alone, look to him for every good thing, humbly, and patiently, love him, fear him, and honor him with all my heart.

In short, that I give up anything rather than go against his will in any way.
