(LUKE 17:33) JESUS SAYS, whosoever shall seek to save his life shall loose his life; and whosoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
(MATHEW 19:21) JESUS SAYS, if you want to be perfect, go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
People talk a good talk when it comes to JESUS, but not everyone gives up their life to follow JESUS!
Some people think their living for JESUS because their living their lives being good according to their own goodness, and their own self-righteousness!
But to live for JESUS is to follow JESUS in all of his ways, not your own ways!
It can be a rude awakening to think you are living for JESUS only to have JESUS come to you and tell you to give up everything, and come follow him!
What if you are rich and wealthy, you have homes, and all type of material possessions, will you give it all up to follow JESUS?
What if you have gotten rich off the free talents and free gifts that GOD has freely given you, but you fail to recognize that you sold the free gift and talents of GOD that was freely given to you for a profit, riches, prosperity, material possessions, greed, and fame!
And JESUS comes to you saying you to give it all up, and come follow him!
Will you give up everything to follow JESUS?
(LUKE 18:24-30) JESUS SAYS, how hard shall it be for them that have riches to enter into the kingdom of GOD.
For it shall be easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of GOD.
And the disciples heard this said, who then can be saved?
And JESUS said, the things which are impossible with men are possible with GOD.
Then Peter said, LORD, we have left everything, and followed you,
And JESUS said to them, Verily I say to you, there is no man that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of GOD’S sake,
Who shall not receive “more” in this present time, and in the world to come everlasting life.
Brothers and sisters, it will cost your whole entire life to follow the real JESUS CHRIST, but are you willing to give up your life to have life in CHRIST JESUS?
That is the question, and that is the real gospel of JESUS CHRIST!
(Luke 14:33) JESUS SAYS, So likewise, whosoever he be of you that does not forsake all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
