Jesus said following him would be hard. In fact, all Jesus disciples, except for one, were martyred (if I remember right). Jesus also said his followers would be falsely accused and hated. JUST LIKE HE WAS‼️‼️ He was falsely accused and hated‼️‼️ And when Jesus said, “pick up your cross and follow me”, he wasn’t fooling‼️‼️ He meant it‼️‼️ Just ask all the Christian martyrs this last century. They were willing to die. Not all Christians die like that but—-the ones who truly love Jesus are willing to‼️‼️ Post Reply

I was very disappointed in what I saw. Nothing biblical about it‼️ They would invite youngsters to participate in sporting activities and afterwards they would ask each of them if they wanted to avoid hell fire. Of course NO ONE is going to say no to that. Well, the solution? A “repeat-after-me-prayer” supposedly asking and accepting “Jesus to come into my heart”‼️‼️ And then, after the “evangelism” out reach, the “evangelists” would return to their meeting and brag about how many people “became Christians” or how many “souls got saved”. SORRY‼️‼️ That doesn’t bear any resemblance to the biblical evangelism of Jesus and the Apostles‼️‼️ SO WHERES THE explaining about what sin is or what true repentance means⁉️⁉️ WHERE’S the 👉👉biblical👈👈 teaching about God’s terrible wrath coming against unrepentant sinners. WHERE’S the submission to the LORDSHIP of Jesus⁉️⁉️⁉️ Post Reply

Philippians 1:29: “For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him, but also suffer for his sake.” 1 Peter 3:17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. Dishonest “Christians” and Preachers, who need more people in their false churches, lie about the Gospel. They make the Gospel easy and pleasant for their lukewarm worldly “Christians”(ie false Christians). Post Reply

It allows us to see just how far we’ve fallen short of his glory. I would encourage you to compare yourself and your behaviors to Jesus. Post Reply
