Followers Of Christ

Improved Essays
Followers of Christ need to expect to live out of their comfort, world life and, set fourth the works of the Father. People tend to wear the label of Christianity, proclaiming their faith yet, staying put in the world, tending to only themselves. The books in the Bible of James and Colossians each describe the trials, faults, and temptations Christians would face in order to live by His name. Also the books say that the Lord 's unconditional love is needed to be returned to others through love and service. Followers of God 's word need to help bring the world closer to the Father by doing His works.
The letter written by Paul to James, a servant of God, was meant to instruct how possessing true faith has the inevitable trails that come with

The people can not bear the fruit of Christ if Christ does not have followers who want to plant the seeds. The Lord, our savior, delivered us from the darkness of sin into the light and, we need to give thanks to the Father for His love. Christ is the son of God and in Colossians, He is declared to be "before all things, and in him all things hold together." He is the reason our evil deeds are reconciled and, the reason we are given the chance of eternal life. The least we can do for Christ is to be stable and steadfast in our faith. Our fellowship and soul needs to be alive for, Christ is alive in is. The world will try to stop us from living for Him but our faith should not allow the withering of our strength. The peace of Christ needs to dwell in us and, our hearts need to be ever forgiving, The word of God is living so it may reside in our hearts and mind so we can teach on e another about the greatness of the Lord. The book of Colossians declares the need for us, as followers, to do everything in the name of Jesus. The people need to listen to the instructions of the Lord and not just obey to the extent of people pleasing and self …show more content…
We tend to lie to ourselves and exchange our lie for the truth proclaiming how good of a Christian we are. Activity in the name of Christ is a away that can greatly further our faith. The walk of faith is complex and difficult but so was Christ 's sacrifice. We may believe in him but what good does belief if we do not act. Engaging in Christian services brings us to understand the radical character of Jesus through love. We need to hold onto Christ with one hand and reach out to the world with the other with. Followers of Christ live in a world of pain that desperately needs our help to present the love of Christ to help heal the wounded world. If we do not act how can that be healed?

We need to let the light from Jesus shine whithin us through our deeds and praise to the

    James’ letter is saturated with practical wisdom and the basic tenets of Christianity. Specifically, the 26th and 27th verses furnish Christians with what is necessary to practice acceptable religion in God’s sight. Expounding on this idea is James’ goal. It will be seen that James’ teachings on this subject fully furnishes a person who wishes to practice pure and undefiled religion.…

    In many of Paul's letters, Paul talks about that we are justified by grace through faith. In James' letter, he says faith without works is dead. At a glance, it looks like James is contradicting Paul, but further in and both are going to each other. The Word is inspired by God and is beneficial to us for teaching, correction, reproofing, and for training us in righteousness.…

    In Matthews 5-7 and Luke 6:20-49 there are many lessons and wise words of Jesus spoken. I believe Jesus is asking his followers to love each other and nothing more than to show compassion and care for each individual that you cross paths with. It portrays that through whatever you do in life to always look to the Lord for answers. No matter the rough or great times you have throughout life there is always an answer and there will always be an upside to any situation. Jesus wants every human that walks the earth to make a positive difference in the lives of others.…

    I recall a memory of me having a brief discussion with a Jehovah’s Witness about the Lord’s church. When I mentioned the church of Christ, he asked me, “which church is that? I have never heard of it.” This man, like a lot of people both inside and outside of the church, did not have any idea about what it is. So, we would like to talk about some important aspects of the church that help us understand the body to which we belong.…

    A few years after Christ, Paul was born to a family of Jews in the City of Tarsus. His parents were both of Jewish lineage, resulting in his practicing of Judaism in his adolescence. During his schooling, Gamaliel, a Pharisee in Jerusalem, was Paul’s teacher. Paul spent his childhood learning to convert all followers of other faiths to Judaism using any means necessary. The occasional quotes from Greek poets in Paul’s writings allude that Paul also learned Greek and other languages from Gamaliel.…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    A Christian life is a “life of agapic love and service” that helps “find who you are and who God is by giving yourself away in loving service to others” (Himes 44). In order to live a Christian life and to have a relationship with God, we must live and do things out of our hearts and love. The pure and genuine feelings of our actions will create genuine relationships and actions. In my Christian life, I tend to feel guilty while serving others. For example, I tend to feel sorry about the people I serve in the Tenderloin at the Curry Senior Center and in the Lasallian Vincentian Youth club.…

    The light is so much more than mere illumination. As I experienced, being in the presence of the Light was healing, loving, and fostered a sense of belonging, of home. This is because the Light is Christ, Himself. Also, according to His words, to know Christ is to know His Father. Christ is the way, the bridge to have a relationship with God.…

    The believer now has the responsibility to serve others within the community of faith. The perfect example of true servant-hood is Christ Himself. He lived a life free from enslaving lusts and instead chose to be a slave to the needs of others. The Holy Spirit is the power behind the believer’s ability to serve and bear fruit. As believers serve one another by being controlled by the Spirit, it will then effect the lives of the other believers, causing them to bear fruit in their own lives.…

    Service has always been an essential part of the Christian faith. Jesus himself served others by spreading the word of salvation and showing kindness to those around him. Essentially, to those that were thought less of, tax collectors, prostitutes, lepers and anyone else not fully accepted into society. This is stated in Mark 10:45, “for even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many” (NIV). Therefore, it is only right for the followers of Christ to follow in his footsteps and serve those in need.…

    I wish to explore the questions of how do love, acceptance and community influence people’s expression of faith? Do these three things also affect seekers’ willingness to “give spirituality or religion another chance?” I note David Tacey’s view that, “Religion and spirituality face each other as paradoxical twins. Without religion, we have no organised way of communicating or expressing truth, no sacred rituals to bind individuals into living community. Yet without spirituality, we have no truth to celebrate and no contact with the living and ongoing nature of divine revelation.”…
