Before you can follow Jesus Christ you
have to make up your mind about one thing and that is about TOTALLY
SUBMITTING TO JESUS, handing over all your rights and then to follow
Him and do His will.
Eternal life is about KNOWING Jesus
Christ and SERVING Him as LORD, doing His will, not your own. You
cannot follow Jesus Christ and be pleasing to Him unless you have
submitted yourself totally to Him. You cannot pray the Lords Prayer
unless you have totally submitted to Him. You cannot pray:”Thy
kingdom come, Thy will be done...” and if you cannot pray for God's
will to be done then you cannot be a child of God, you cannot be a
disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after
Me must deny Himself, pick up his cross daily and come here, follow
Me.”
If you are not willing to submit
yourself totally to Jesus and to GIVE UP ALL YOUR RIGHTS TO YOUSELF
and TO OBEY HIM until the very end, then you cannot follow Jesus, you
cannot be a child of God, you cannot have eternal life. Jesus gave
His life for us. Unless we are willing to submit our lives totally to
Him, we cannot have eternal life.
Have you submitted to Jesus? Have you
made that decision? Are you willing to TOTALLY and UTTERLY OBEY His
words, do what is pleasing to Him? Are you willing to live in utter
obedience to the words of Jesus as they are also recorded in the
gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? Are you willing to be led by
the Holy Spirit, to DO what He tells you to do, to GO where He sends
you? Are you willing to follow Jesus?
If you want eternal life you need to
let go of it all! Hand it in! Hand it over! Give it to Jesus and
follow Him and He will give you LIFE.
May Jesus bless you.
