“We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Messiah.” — Colossians 1:28 TLV

What if I taught Christianity like I do football? Football is a hard sport to play both physically and mentally. There are so many factors that go into it. Your body must be in tip top shape. Your mental focus must be on it’s “A” game. Your ability to work as a team is essential. Lastly, your need to zone out distractions! It is HARD!! Not a lot of people make it through football camp. Even when you’ve trained your hardest, you can still get injured or lose to another team. There are no guarantees in football.

So what if I taught Christianity this way? When you accept Christ this is what to expect:

  • “Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Ruach ha-Kodesh who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 TLV
  • “For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly but powerful through God for the tearing down of strongholds. We are tearing down false arguments and every high-minded thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. We are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Messiah — ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.” — 2 Corinthians 10:5–6 TLV
  • “Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, through the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.” — 1 Corinthians 1:10 TLV
  • “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But you are not of the world, since I have chosen you out of the world; therefore the world hates you.” — John 15:18–19 TLV

Surrendering to Jesus Christ is the best decision I have ever made! The Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is TRUE! Following Christ has been challenging and painful and yet the joy that comes with it is overwhelmingly wonderful!

Today if you are unsure where you stand with God. Start by reading His word or talking to a Christian you trust. Ask any questions of God or another follower. I accepted the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I surrendered my life to Christ. I am a slave to Him. I have never regretted it. One day when I go home to Glory, I will hear my Heavenly Father say, “Well done. Good and faithful servant.”

Be blessed and know that you are loved by YeHoVaH through Messiah Yeshua and the Ruach ha-Kodesh lives within you.
