I'm reading through Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman which speaks of moving beyond being a fan of Jesus to becoming a committed follower.
Some passages that stood out to me are
"We are saved by God's grace when we believe in Jesus and put our faith in him, but biblical belief is more than something we confess with our mouths; it's something we confess with our lives...a belief is more than what we say (104)."
Salvation comes through the grace of God through faith. Believing is more than just talking all the time. Followers show through their lives that they belong to Jesus.
Following Jesus also requires movement and a complete and total commitment.
Not a Fan is challenging me to evaluate where I truly stand in my relationship with Jesus.
