10 Wonderful Reasons to Follow Jesus

Have you ever thought about the wonderful reasons to follow Jesus?

Following Jesus has great reward. Sure, we know there are costs. Such as the call to deny our desires and pick up our cross. 

Family and friends may disown us.

Or, we can suffer persecution and ridicule.

Still, let’s not forget the wonderful reasons. And one is the greatest reason of all. I list ten here and save the best for last.

(1.)  Wonderful Reasons: Eternal and Abundant Life

“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)

(2.)  Reason of Righteousness

“If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.” (1 John 2:29)

We follow Jesus in a foreign culture of unrighteousness. And those who refuse to follow Him have destruction as their end. 

Because “enemies of the cross” make their belly a god and glory in shame. Since their minds are set on earthly things. “But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (See Philippians 3:18-20)

Do we desire to follow Christ and His righteousness, Sunday through Saturday, 24/7?

True disciples not only want to follow Jesus, but also follow through by seeking to stay on the path of righteousness.

(3.)  Wonderful Reasons: A Good Shepherd

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)
