When I was younger, I thought that simply going to church, obeying my parents and reading my Bible defined me as a “good” Christian. I thought it was a list of “do’s” and “don’ts.” Friends, I’m here to tell you otherwise.

Following Jesus isn’t a to-do list — it’s the pursuit of intimacy. It’s not trying to be “good” but becoming GOD’S. The more we know Him, the more He makes us like Him. Being a true follower of Jesus doesn’t mean begrudgingly obeying rules but wholeheartedly loving GOD. And when you truly know & love Him, He will make you like Him.

Jesus came running into history for you. He came to meet us where we are, in our brokenness & our pain. He gave everything for us and He offers everything — the most natural thing to do is give our life back to Him. Giving your life to Jesus makes you want to do everything on a list, but the list doesn’t matter because if we love Him, our actions will reflect it.
