📌THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS CALLED TO A SACRIFICIAL LIVING.
📌THE LIFE WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE BY GOD IS TO DENY ONESELF FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST.
📌CHRIST JESUS MUST BE THE PRIORITY AND IN THE CENTER STAGE OF ALL CHRISTIANS.
📌 FOR YOU TO FOLLOW JESUS, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ABANDON ALL THINGS INCLUDING THE WEALTH OF THIS EARTH.
📌FOR TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN. THEREFORE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST IS WORTH DYING FOR.
📌JESUS TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS TO ABANDON THE LIFESTYLE THEY WERE LIVING AND FOLLOW HIM.
📌WHAT THEN IS THEREFORE OF PROFIT, TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL?
Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV)
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 19:21 (NIV)
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
