Marks of a Committed Christian #4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola I've been quite busy lately, that's why you've not read from me. I've had tremendous meetings where people really got blessed by heaven. A lot of lives where impacted for the glory of God. We'll now continue with our subject. Thanks for been there. The Bible says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:2). A committed Christian will not be conformed to this world because he would have set into motion the transformation of his life through the renewal of his mind with the Word of God that he formed the habit of reading and studying.

John 8:31-32 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Jesus disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. The word 'disciple' means 'a follower of a leader, teacher, etc'. To be called a disciple of anyone or anything calls for: 1. Interest, 2. Dedication and Committment. Jesus said a person that'll be His disciple must be a believer who continues in His Word, who as a result will know the truth and be set free by it. The people in Antioch knew that the disciples they met were committed to the cause o
