To say “I’m following Christ” – that’s easy to say. But, in the vernacular, “You is or you ain’t!” What is your practice? The Bible explains what is “following Christ”… and what is NOT.
Accepting Jesus – Plus Some Other
Do you acknowledge the dissidence between your “want-a-be” and your whatch-ya-be? The truth is you can’t have it both ways. Salvation in Christ is what it is. God has shared His Way with us. It is not “whatever you make it to be”. Salvation is not something you make up for your own convenience. Are you saved by God? Or are you hoping your own way will be good enough?
