Following Christ:
- You’ll lose friendships/ relationships
- You’ll be tempted to sin & your faithfulness will be tested (1 Cor 10:13)
- You will go through hard times & have to make hard decisions (it’s not all bless me)
- You will be an seen as an outcast to many

But

God has nothing but good things planned for you (Jeremiah 29:11)

A lot of people say they follow Christ and are Christians but are not able to give up the world

To be a true disciple you must be prepared to give up everything and seek the Lord (Luke 14:25-33)

Sex, Stealing, Lying, Pride, Greed, Drunkiness, Lust etc. It must all be given up if you say you are a disciple of Christ (Colossians 3:5-11)

Please I’m not saying this to judge anyone, just to let you know the truth. I still struggle and been struggling but we have to make a strong effort as Christians to follow Christ righteously. If our righteousness is nothing but filthy rags to God, what of our unrighteousness

So if you believe Christ is your saviour make an effort to leave the things of the world behind.

It’s easier said than done but it’s a sacrifice we HAVE to make.

Matthew 24:12-13
