Why is devotion to Christ important for Christians?

Devotion to Christ stems from recognizing that we have been saved by grace, prompting us to respond with love and worship. As seen in Matthew 26:10-13, the woman who anointed Jesus was criticized, yet her act of devotion was honored by Christ Himself. This illustrates that true worship often goes beyond societal expectations and is an intimate expression of our gratitude towards Him. Our sense of devotion not only brings honor to Christ but serves as a powerful testimony of His transformative work in our lives, encouraging others to see the value of Christ.
