3 Bible Tips: Following Jesus Christ
1. Following Jesus requires giving Him our lives.
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it’” (Matthew 16:24-25).
Following Jesus means to follow in His steps...
2. We should study and follow His example (asking ourselves, what would Jesus do?).
“For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: ‘Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth’” (1 Peter 2:21-22).
3. Following takes diligence, hope, faith and patience, but the promises are worth it!
“And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:11-12).

I looked it up [searched for "Bible tips" on Google]- great to see practical solutions and advice – I grew heartily tired of decades of being told “the World is Bad” while everyday applications were often lacking.
