💡 Did you know? Jesus didn’t just die for us so we could believe in Him—He died so we would follow Him! The Bible says (TL;DR take up your cross):
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” – Matthew 16:24
🚀 Christianity isn’t just about knowing Jesus—it’s about following Him! Let’s explore what this means and why it’s essential for your eternal future.
1. Jesus Died So You Could Live for Him: Take Up Your Cross
Many people believe Jesus died on the cross just to save them. While that’s true, the full picture is deeper:
“He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.” – 2 Corinthians 5:15
🔥 This means true faith requires action!
✔ Accepting Jesus isn’t just about believing—it’s about doing His will.
✔ If you don’t take up your cross, you’re rejecting why He died for you.
💭 Are you living for yourself or for Christ?
2. You Must Work Out Your Salvation And Take Up Your Own Cross
⚠️ No one can do this for you—not your pastor, family, or friends. The Bible is clear:
“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” – Philippians 2:12
🚨 What does this mean?
✔ Salvation is a gift, but it comes with responsibility.
✔ If you don’t actively seek God’s will, you’re in danger of eternal separation from Him.
⏳ Time is short. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
3. The World Will Betray You – Jesus Won’t
😔 Have you ever trusted someone, only for them to let you down? The Bible warns:
“Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.” – Psalm 146:3
🚀 Even the best people can make mistakes—but Jesus never will.
✔ People can betray you for money, status, or self-interest.
✔ God is the only one you can truly depend on.
✔ Jesus sees everything—even the things done in secret.
💭 Who are you placing your trust in today?
4. Choosing Heaven or Hell is YOUR Decision
🔥 Some believe hell is just a scary story—but the Bible says otherwise:
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” – Matthew 25:46
💭 Will your choices lead you to:
✔ Heaven – A place with no pain, no evil, and streets paved with gold
❌ Hell – A place of eternal torment, separation from God, and endless regret
🚨 Satan lies to people, making them think hell will be “fun”—but he only wants to destroy you.
🙌 Choose Jesus today and secure your place in heaven!
5. Take the First Step – Right Now!
⏳ You don’t know how much time you have left. The Bible urges us:
“Now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” – 2 Corinthians 6:2
🙏 Pray this today:
“Lord, I choose to take up my cross and follow You. Show me how to live for You and help me stay on the right path. I accept Jesus as my Savior. Amen.”
🎉 If you prayed that, congratulations! You’re stepping into God’s plan for your life!
