12 reasons why following Christ is the coolest thing !

Here are a dozen reasons why I think it´s the coolest thing to be a follower of Jesus Christ:

1. You are in touch with the "Most High".

2. You are never alone. In Jesus you have a best friend. A friend that wants to know you, who always understands and never criticizes or accuses you. He promised it: "I´ll never leave you alone."

3. God has a perfect plan for your life. With Him on your side you never have to worry about your future. If you trust in Him, everything that happens serves for your highest good.

4. You are given the book of books - the Bible. God talks so wonderfully through this book. A guideline for your life and God´s love letter.

5. In following Christ you join into one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide world. We are family !

6. Your view on things and people change. Jesus shows you that true wealth is coming from within and that love is the way !

7. You can be yourself, without the fear of getting rejected. As a child of God you are meant to be free and destined to develop your unique personality.

8. Living with God doesn´t mean that everything will be going fine in your life. But He has the power to give you the inner peace that is needed to withstand the struggles of life. And the rest that God gives, passes all understanding.

9. His grace enriches your life. God always forgives. Like the paraple of the prodigal son: He will never turn away from you and He will always welcome you with open arms, no matter what happened ! Like a loving father.

10. God in your life means that the door of eternity opens !

11. There are so many great role models and saints who showed that Jesus is real. In finding such a role model you can add another good guideline to your life.

12. Go out and be confident:

- I am a child of God and perfectly free.
- My best friend is Jesus Christ who always understands and who will never leave me alone.
- His Spirit lives in me.

And please don´t you ever be ashamed of that connection.Instead, go out into the world, live and proclaim:

"It is the coolest thing to follow Jesus Christ. Period !"

Be blessed !
Yours,
Martin
