Follow

Our preacher started a series yesterday called Follow. To be honest, it really made me think. He preached about how many people follow Jesus because of His works rather than His worth. They believe in God because they think it’s a guarantee to go to Heaven. You’ve heard it before… “If you died today, are you 100% sure you would go to Heaven?” Of course, this isn’t a bad question, but it can also mislead non-believers. They accept Jesus and instead of truly following Him, they just believe in Him. It’s like their “get out of hell” card. They want and expect all the benefits Christ has to offer and when they don’t obtain these benefits, they become disappointed and wonder away.

The bottom line is this: If you follow God because of His works, you may be disappointed. God works on His own watch, not ours. Instead, follow Him for who He is and the benefits will follow.
