WHY I AM A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST
•••I don’t JUDGE you for I was also CONDEMNED by the Law of God
••• we know that we CANNOT AVOID DEATH whether young, old, poor, rich, man, woman, different race or time. Then after that’s we all FACE JUDGMENTS.
Hebrews 9:27 NIV
Just as people are destined to DIE ONCE, and AFTER THAT FACE JUDGMENT,”
Ecclesiastes 12:14 NIV
“For God will bring EVERY DEED INTO JUDGEMENT, including EVERY HIDDEN THING, whether it is good or evil.”
••• God will judge us based on what we have done. God knows each stage of our life. So we should be HONEST and SINCERE.

James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at JUST ONE POINT IS GUILTY OF BREAKING ALL OF IT.
•••READ THIS AGAIN.. We all know we broke all his commandments. And we are all GUILTY ON JUDGEMENT DAY.
Romans 3:19 NKJV
“Now we know that whatever the LAW says, it says to those who are under the law, so that EVERY MOUTH MAY BE SILENCED AND THE WHOLE WORLD HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.”
Romans 3:20 ESV
“For by works of the law NO HUMAN BEING WILL BE JUSTIFIED in his sight, since through the law comes KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.”
••• The PURPOSE OF THE LAW is to show our SINS and that we NEED A SAVIOR
Nahum 1:3 NIV
“The Lord is slow to anger but great in power; THE LORD WILL NOT LEAVE THE GUILTY UNPUNISHED...
•••GOD WILL NEVER ALLOW US NOT TO BE PUNISH and THE PAYMENT OF SIN IS DEATH!!!!
••• WE KNOW WE WILL NEVER GO TO HEAVEN, WE KNOW WE WILL NEVER SEE PARADISE ---THAT IS THE REASON JESUS CAME TO PAY FOR OUR SINS.
John 3:17 NIV
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to SAVE THE WORLD THROUGH HIM.”
John 14:6 NLT
“Jesus told him, “I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
••• The PAYMENT OF SIN IS DEATH, that is why Jesus came to pay for ANYONE who receives him.
1 John 4:10 NIV
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS.”
••• this love that LEADS us to a HONEST AND SINCERE REPENTANCE and become a FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.
••• That is why our salvation is not through RELIGIONS , WORKS, TRADITION or RITUALS . It is through HIS GRACE by FAITH by having relationship with God because people can BOAST.
Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH, And this is NOT FROM YOUR OWN DOING; it is the GIFT OF GOD, not a result of works, SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST.”
••• I HOPE you think this over as this will be YOUR MOST IMPORTANT DECISION IN LIFE.
