ATTACH YOURSELF TO JESUS


If you want to be part of the kingdom
of God and have eternal life, you have to ATTACH yourself to Jesus,
follow and obey Him until the end. Jesus said: “He who loves father
or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or
daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38“And
he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of
Me. 39“He
who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for
My sake will find it. “ John 10:37-39.
The apostle John wrote: “15Do
not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the
world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For
all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the
eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is
from the world. 17The
world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who
does the will of God lives forever.” 1 John 2:15-17.
Before
we can attach ourselves to Jesus we have to detach ourselves from
everything else. Jesus said: “No one can serve two masters; for
either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted
to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
John 6:24.
Just
believing in Jesus will not save anybody from hell and damnation. We
have to become His disciples, abandon our own plans interests and
ambitions, detach ourselves from the world and the things of the
world, attach ourselves to Jesus and go after Him, follow and obey
Him until the end. We have to live according to the words and
commandments of Jesus, as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
We must seek Jesus in prayer and live in spiritual communion with
Him, in holiness and total dedication to Him.
Have
we attached ourselves to Jesus and are we living for Him and the
kingdom of God? Are we detached from the world and the things of the
world? Is there nothing that holds us back from following Jesus?
May
Jesus bless you.
