Third, You must make a decision to follow Him.
There is no middle ground with Jesus. We must make a choice. Romans 10:9-10 say, "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved." Paul is emphasizing our need to clearly align ourselves with Jesus. John 1:12 says it this way, "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." This decision is an all in decision. Jesus said in Luke 9:23-26, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father." Will you choose to follow Him?
