Trying to live worthy of God before you are right with Him is like a caterpillar jumping off of a leaf and trying to fly before becoming a butterfly.
To be right with God you must be sorry for your sin and ask Him for His forgiveness, trusting in Jesus' death as the punishment for what you deserve.
Life as a believer is not easy, as we heard tonight, there are many difficulties which each believer faces, but those who are saved know the reward is joy and peace unspeakable. A life of purpose that is life lived to the full.
Three difficulties to be prepared for that we learned from Luke 9 v57-62:
- Living life following Jesus will mean going without certain material things
- Jesus must come first in our lives, even above our closest family matters
- There is no looking back to the worldly life you used to lead
[If you have questions, don't let them slip by without being answered]
