Most professing Christians are just
lost sheep because they are not
following Jesus. They are following after
men, they are following after preachers and
churches and doctrines, They've never met
Jesus, they've just become religious,
Jesus never told us to build
churches or go to churches. He said:
"Follow Me." He commanded His disciples to
go and make disciples who hear His voice
and who follow Him. If we receive Jesus, if we
obey His teachings, His words, His
commands, repent and be baptized in water,
seek Him with all our heart, He gives His
Holy Spirit in us, He Himself comes and
He dwells in us and He guides and
teaches us. We come into communion with
Jesus, we don't come into communion with
other people, we come into communion with
Him. We do not become of the world or
like the world, we do not become like
other Christians, We follow Jesus Christ.
He calls us out. He calls us out of the
world, He calls us out of the church. He
calls us to Him to follow Him and He
guides and He teaches us.
He does not call us to religion, He is alive. He
speaks. His sheep hear His voice and they
follow Him. He does not callus to follow other Christians, to be like other
Christians, no matter how good they are
or were, like the apostles, like Paul. We are
not here to follow Paul. We are here to
follow Jesus and a wonderful thing is
that He has a unique path a unique
plan for each and every one of us. We are
uniquely wonderfully made to fit into
His kingdom and we can only be our part
if we listen to Him, follow Him if we are
His sheep. Jesus called us to follow Him,
not to be religious, not to conform to a
set of rules become, part of an
organization, to fellowship with other
Christians, He calls us into fellowship
with Himself because He has a specific
plan and purpose for each and every son
of God, because that is what He called us
to be, children of God, Jesus makes you
new, born again, a child of God. He puts
His Spirit in you and you need to listen,
follow and obey Him. It's not about
becoming religious, it is about
becoming a child of God, the son of God
that walks with God every day. Do not try
and be like other Christians. Do not look
for examples in the Bible of how you
should live. Obey the words of Jesus. Do
what He commanded as it is written down
in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and Jesus
will reveal Himself to you. He will give
His Spirit in you, He will guide you and
He will teach you. You will be a child of
God. He will guide you along the path
that He has prepared for you because
without Jesus we can do nothing and
it's not about religion, it's not about
church. It is about our living
relationship with the Living God. He
has a specific plan and purpose with
everyone whom He receives and brings
into communion, into fellowship with
Himself into the household of God. God is
calling you. Jesus is calling you into
relationship with Him to follow and obey
Him, to be a child of God and to be with
Him for eternity.
He calls us out out of the world out of
the church systems, out of the
We are called to be part
of the kingdom of God. That is what Jesus
calls us for. It is what he came for
to redeem for Himself a possession, His
own people, children of God. Are you a
child of God. Have you accepted Jesus as
your Lord and Master do you understand
that it is about following and obeying
Jesus, being a disciple of Jesus, being a
child of God. Without Jesus we can do
nothing.
Our calling is to be children of God,
followers of Jesus Christ, to be with
Him for eternity. Have you received
Jesus Christ. Have you become a child of
God. Do you know Him. Do you hear His
voice and do you follow Him?
May Jesus bless you.
