Many people through the ages have stated a belief for Jesus – often for only a brief time and the wrong reasons. There is a monumental difference – a life-and-death difference – between stating belief in Jesus, and truly being a follower of Him.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)
This might be similar to Larry Bird saying he knows Michael Jordan - but at the same time he was competing against him. We need to be on the same team with Jesus, not just know or respect Him.
Those who truly believe will do His will – they will join His team!
"All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.” (John 6:37 – 38)
Are you a fan of Jesus? Then take the next step, get out of the stands and join His team… There is a huge difference between watching from the sidelines and stepping into the game!
