Title: Difference between believer/and follower of Jesus
Post by: joyce robson on March 26, 2013, 01:17:25 PM
The difference between being a believer in Jesus and being a follower of Jesus.

A believer is one who has placed his trust in the Lord for salvation and has received the gift of eternal life. A follower goes beyond that and attempts to know and obey God.

Through the Word of God, we as His followers become increasingly knowledgeable about His nature and His care for us.

When we become fully convinced that our God is as good and loving as the Bible depicts Him, we will surely avoid the ways of worry.

Scripture teaches that God knows all our needs, concerns, and desires but still commands us not to worry.

Think about that. Would He ever command something and not enable you to do it?


Absolutely not! He wants your trust and—if You allow Him—will prove to you that worry is unnecessary.

Oh, I agree..

In this "chaotic" world ; it is so hard not to be anxious..

Trusting in HIS word becomes easier when I just focus on HIS teachings and how very much HE loves us.

Easter is such a joyous time; but I always feel such sorrow on Good Friday- to think some of that hurt he felt was because of something I did or didn't do to follow him

Trying to improve on a daily basis..That's the only way I can accept HIS unconditional love..
