Key Text: Matthew 4:19
As Christians, we should do as we preach, just as Christ taught us.
Being an addicted follower of Christ is what sustains us as Christians in the race of life.
As we walk with Christ, we should be followers for genuine reasons and not selfish reasons.
In Mark 1:14-20, the disciples left their old life and possessions to follow Christ.
The major limitation of most Christians in following Christ is that many of us are willing to follow God, but are not willing to drop our old(immoral) ways of life.
In following Christ genuinely, we need genuine repentance from sin and completely fix our gaze on God.
CHARACTERISTICS OF GENUINE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST.
- Genuine followers love God and do not provoke him to anger. (Matthew 22:37-38)
- Genuine followers seek God first ,you do not seek material things first.
As followers of Christ, it is detrimental to put our hands on the plow and look back just as Lot’s wife did. Whoever must follow Christ, must follow him in spirit and in truth.
