The Bible Column - Have you decided to follow Jesus?
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children:” Ephesians 5:1
Following are the words to the little chorus, “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”. Please consider the simple but meaningful words to that song.
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus’
No turning back, no turning back.
Though no one join me, still I will follow;
Though no one join me, still I will follow;
Though no one join me, still I will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.
The Scripture above gives Bible direction for the Believer to follow God the Father as dear children. The word “dear” speaks of those beloved of the Father. It also speaks of children who love the Heavenly Father, as well.
Dear reading friend, have you decided to follow the Lord Jesus in your life? Are you willing to determine that there will be “no turning back”… “no turning back?” I trust that you have or will today!
