How to Follow  Jesus? 

Step 8: Suffer for him 

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.  If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. 

That is why the world hates you.  Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. John 15:18-20.

Note: To Suffer for Christ means you will always obey no matter what.

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. 

This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.  For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,  since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have. Philippians 1:27-30.

Step 7:  Share Him & Serve Him

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19.

For I understand I will not be ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: 

Note: Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24. 

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 

1 Corinthians 15:58.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Romans 12:1.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45,

You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him. Deuteronomy 13:4.

Step 6: Love Him

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30.

How do I love God? With my entire mind. When I love God, I protect what I place in my Mind.

My Soul will be steadfast and loyal and always persevering. Not giving up.

Note: First, loving God requires knowing Him, and that knowledge begins with His Word. To know Him is to love Him. To love God is to worship and praise Him. 

It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. 

To love God is to put Him first. It’s an undivided love. God is our priority. If we love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, then we won’t allow other things to crowd in. 

Our love for God is manifested by loving people, but we do not love the things of the world. Earth has nothing to be desired.  

Its God that we desired.  We cannot love this present world and God at the same time (1 John 2:15); love for what the world offers can lead us astray (2 Timothy 4:10). 

To love God is to desire Him, to yearn for His righteousness, His Word, and His grace.

Step 5: Obey Him

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

Understand by accepting and doing and dwelling in his Love. Abide.

Note: Obedience is something that we do and apply with love; it is not nothing that is done to us.

It is written in John 14:15. “If you love me, keep my commands.

It is written in John 14:21. Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him."

It is written in John 14:23. Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him

John 15:10

If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love.

It is written in 1 John 2:3. By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.

It is written in 1 John 5:3. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

It is written in 2 John 1:6. And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

Step 4: Believe in Him

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Understand a Believer puts their faith in the one they believe in by listening and responding.

Note: A Believer is a person who believes that a specified thing or someone is effective, with-out doubting.

Step 3: Listen to Him

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him, I am well pleased. Listen to him." Matthew 17:5.

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

Luke 11:28

Note: Listen- means to listen and to take in what you heard.

Jesus says Matthew 7:24, Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Step 2: Be a Person that Prays

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God. Luke 6:12.

Understand a follower does what a leader does.

How to Pray

Jesus said to us, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.” Luke 11:1-4

Note: Jesus taught, “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. John 3:3.

Born Again- Means to become new. New Start

Note: Repent and turn around by Christ. Become New by Abiding in Christ.
