Walk As Jesus Walked

True Christians, those have surrendered all to follow Christ, must not live their lives as the world does, but instead must place their full trust in the Heavenly Father for all things. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). This includes all things that have to do with our lives to include, our needs, ministry, etc. Thus, we do not need to know who to minister to or at what time we must do so, where we must go, why we must go there, or even how we will get there. These...

The true followers of Christ are called to live their lives according to the teachings of Jesus. Throughout Jesus' ministry He made it a point to set His own will aside to do the will of the heavenly Father. He did this in spite of the fact He had the same human nature we have; a nature that cries out for us to do our own will out of our selfish desires. The bible tells us of how Satan appealed to Eve's selfish desire to trick her to eat the fruit in the garden. "You will not surely die,"...

During Jesus' earthly ministry, He made it a point to teach in parables and many times, He purposefully did so because He did not intend to share these spiritual truths with the unbelieving crowd. Consequently, this has caused many earthly-minded people to interpret Jesus’ messages based on their own human intellect or religious perspective. This includes the many manmade traditions and misleading doctrines taught to congregations all around the world. The disciples who Jesus knew to be His...

Acts 11:1 tells us that Jesus' disciples in Antioch were the first to be called Christians. This was a term to describe those who followed the Christ.

There are many who make the claim to be a Christian, but of those are far too many who never act upon their claim. Hence, "Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked." (1 John 2:6). Thus, if we seek to walk as Jesus walked, we will become...

Jesus did not mince words when it came to telling His followers how they must live here on earth. He illustrated this both in word and deed teaching us to be servants of the kingdom of heaven. What's more, He made it quite clear His true followers are not to make this earth their home striving for a comfort filled. On the contrary, He taught that this is how the lost people of this world seek to live. For those who are truly born again, our comfort comes from above as we place our full trust...

Today's modern churches place little emphasis on the teachings of Jesus. Regrettably, many church goers have little or no understanding of how the teachings of Jesus apply to the life of someone once they become a Christian. Moreover, many who claim to be Christians spend a great deal of time focused on the teachings of the Apostles found in their letters to early believers and almost no time on the actual teachings of Jesus. Let there be no mistake, it is a great thing to know the...
