PIC: It’s a narrow road
“Followance” means: following Jesus. It is part and parcel to getting saved MerWeb definition: an essential or integral component. Followance is – the Christian life. Followance is “being Christian“.
No followance? No salvation! Followance always follows true salvation. Followance shows you really were: changed, made brand new – saved. It did not save you, but it shows you were.
FOR MORE:
Followance is essential to a relationship with God in Jesus. It did not save you, but it shows you were.

The true version…what is true salvation

Your new leaf once you have repented
The Godman Jesus said, “Follow Me” – Matthew 10:26-39 Excerpt:
He was no ordinary human. Jesus was the Godman: all man and all God, inside a human body Colossians 2:8-10.
Since God Himself asks us to “Follow Me”, why would any mere human NOT? This is Jesus who said, “Follow Me…”! Site Search for Follow Me
What are you thinking?! Jesus is the only one who can save your soul for all eternity!
Saved and knowin’ it…knowing you’re saved
Being Christian Excerpt: He has made his way very clear to us in the Bible. Yet we push to have things easy. We want it our way. We rationalize, creating our own truths, excuse our own desires, write our own new morals. We justify our own ways before God. Well, we try to, anyway.
But will that work in – The End – when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
How a Christian lives life – Hebrews 12:1 Excerpt: It’s not an easy road
“Life is not an easy road. No. It is not. While in this “temp tent” we will always deal with the downward pull of the enemies of our soul. But when we sin, God’s discipline helps us correct our path, teaches us, encourages us, and builds us up to further maturing”

Through Grace and Sheer Mercy Excerpt: Sheer mercy!
I know the feeling. Luther of Germany, Martin, expressed it:
“I grasped that the righteousness of God is that righteousness by which through grace and sheer mercy God justifies us through faith. Thereupon I felt myself to be reborn and to have gone through open doors into paradise.”
– Martin Luther, quoted by David Zahl, Justify Yourself; Christianity Today, Jan-Feb 2017; p.37.
There is no way on earth that any of us can live to merit God’s forgiveness – His grace and His mercy. No way in Hell.
God forgives all wrongdoings of all repentant sinners, no exception
God’s grace teaches us to reject sin
The Way to Salvation always involves obedience to Jesus…He forgives those who repent AND follow. Followance does not save you – it’s His grace that saves. But the following ALWAYS comes when truly saved.
Limited Grace Excerpt: Salvation in Christ is not a willy-nilly “free for all” gift bin. You can’t just say “Okay Jesus”, “Sure thing – God”.
Imagine what “being saved” has meant to you
So you think you are a Christian saved by His amazing grace Excerpt:
So you think you are a Christian
saved by His amazing grace
yet you were not honest nor sincere
how we know is how we live and think
after mouthing I accept you Jesus
you thought your sinful soul was saved
but what good your Jesus moment
when each day you spout the Devil’s lies….
