Following, not just believing
When Jesus calls people, He does not invite them into a vague belief system. He calls them into a way of life shaped by trust, obedience and daily surrender.
- Following Jesus doesn’t change what happens when you die; it should change how you live every day until you die.
- The call of Jesus reorients priorities, habits and relationships now.
- Faith that does not reshape daily life has missed the heart of following Him.
- Putting your faith in Jesus means putting your life under the direction of Jesus.
- Faith involves trust that leads to submission.
- True belief results in obedience, not mere agreement.
Reflection question
- Do I understand the cost of becoming who God wants me to be?
Insight
- Following Jesus is about transformation, not information.
- Faith is proven by obedience, not intentions.
- The cost of discipleship clarifies the depth of our trust in God.
- Daily surrender is the pathway to lasting spiritual growth.
