Following Jesus

After having addressed the past two Sundays what it is to initially come to Christ for salvation, we next address what it is we are to do upon coming to Him. He calls us “to follow” Him. This is essentially a call to discipleship. A disciple of Jesus Christ is a true Christian. “The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch” (Acts 11:26) (which, by the way, is the only reference in the entire Bible to the word, “Christians”, in the plural form). We must not only initially come to Christ in faith alone for salvation, we must “follow Him” through life unto the inheritance of our full salvation. Today we explore what it is to follow Jesus, as the Holy Scriptures prescribe for His people.
