How far does your faith go?

How far does your faith go?

If you consider that having and practicing faith only in church is the correct answer, I must say:

You are wrong.

When Jesus told us "Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?'" (Matthew 16:24-26), He wasn't telling us to accept Him on the altar and deny Him on the streets. When He said that, He was telling us to DENY OURSELVES! Deny the flesh! Deny the vanity! Deny the pride! And follow Him. Even when it's "embarassing"! Even when the people in our surroundings are mocking Him! Are we afraid of the same people that crucified the perfect man? 

Jesus Christ died for our sins, He died because He loves us! And are we afraid of showing our love for Him because of some judgemental stares we are going to receive?

THAT'S OUR CROSS! The judgemental stares, the jokes, even the loss of friends!

Jesus died for us, are you willing to live and die for Him?

GLORY BE TO OUR LORD
