Following Jesus

Following Jesus – What does it mean? Following Jesus sounds so simple, but to some it is a confusing concept. Following Jesus consists of: * The desire to follow Him * Having faith in Jesus and who He is * Accepting the offer of eternal life He extends to us. It is that simple. Once we do so, we are agreeing to submitting or surrendering ourselves to Jesus, to pattern our lives after Him and to place our relationship with Him above our own will and desires. Following Jesus is a life-changing commitment to be taken seriously. What does all of that mean? Following Jesus is making a very personal, individual decision. It is a choice every human is offered and must choose through faith. Following Jesus is not about religion, since different denominations or religions tell us there are dozens of different ways to follow Him. Being followers of Jesus Christ is associated most with Christianity, but God never intended Jesus to be for a select group of people. God intended for everyone, from every nation, to accept His Son.
