Subject: Are you a follower of Jesus or a church? |
Bible Note: Why you say? Because my parents (which the are followers of Christ too) always told us we do have eternal life if we believe. But believing isn't enough. We have too keep being obedient and do our best not to sin, because one day one may get off the track and pull away from Christ. My mom has done it once, and I have done it once. But we mananged to get back. Some don't. My aunt is a follower as well, but she almost committed suicide, but she is still alive. If she succeeded, then she would not have enternal life. Because she would have committed one the biggest sin of all. If one is the follower of Christ, and for some reason they, got off track and made plans to murder someone out of cold blood, then they would not have eternal life, but yet, they believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So that is why my parents always said to "hope" have eternal life while we are living, because it will keep us on track to be obedient. Are you see what I am saying? One can believe, but if for some reason the devil got ahold of them while they are at the time of being weak, they would get on ditch of sin and keep digging their hold bigger and bigger until it is too late.
