Personal Responsibility Before The Lord

We have commands to follow
Ye are my friends if you do whatsoever I command you. John 15:14

We have a cross to carry
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, 
If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow Me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it:
and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it
. Matthew 16:24-25

We have talents to use
As every man hath received the gift, 
even so minister the same one to another,
as good stewards of the manifold grace of God
. 1 Peter 4:10
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many
. Matthew 20:27-28
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

We have a gospel to preach
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:
not with wisdom of words,
lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect
. 1 Corinthians 1:17
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of:
for necessity is laid upon me;
yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel
! 1 Corinthians 9:16
And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature
. Mark 16:15

We have a responsibility to do all that Jesus commanded us,
We also have a personal responsibility

Your personal responsibility is to find out all of these things
by asking Jesus Himself to reveal what He is asking of you,
and to do all that He has given you to do, do to the best of your ability,
along with the other commands or instructions
we are encouraged to do according to the word of God
