Why Do You Follow Jesus?

Topics to Dig Into

Who is He?

What is God like? Who is this man Jesus? How can we understand the Holy Spirit?

The Visible God

God is present and active in our lives, often working through people and ‘coincidences’. Thank and praise Him!

Making it Practical

Following Jesus in today’s world can be challenging. But living according to Jesus’ teaching is incredibly worthwhile. Call it life-changing.

He Knows You

God’s love is unconditional. He knows our hearts and continually invites us into relationship.

Ah-Ha!

Learning about the culture and language of Bible times can reveal new meaning in familiar scriptures. Let’s call them ah-ha moments.

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NLT)

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the
Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything
you could imagine. For just as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my
thoughts higher than your thoughts.”

Why do you follow Jesus? Pause a moment and think about your answer.

Consider this scenario. What if we Christians have it all wrong? What if we stand before the throne after
death and instead of Jesus, it is Satan who decides our eternal destiny –
heaven or hell? If Satan offered heaven
if you worship him or hell if you believe in Jesus, which would you choose? Would you follow Jesus into hell?

Ephesians 3:17 (NLT)

I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
