The Christian Hope

As a believer and follower of Christ, the hope is in a God whom has control over all things. The hope goes deeper than one can imagine with human nature. The hope is in one whom was here since the beginning and will be here for us during the end. Jesus stated the following:
                  Do not be afraid.
                  I am the First and the Last.
                  I am the Living One.
                  I was dead, and behold I am alive forever and ever!
                  And I hold the keys to death and Hades.
                  Revelations 1:17-18
                 

Follower or Believer

I hear lots of people say or confess to be a beleiver of Christ. However, I rarely hear people say "I am a follower of Christ". There is a stark difference between the two terms.

According to Encarta Dictionary, the following are defined

Believer: one whom have a belief in God or in a religion's gods

Follower: a supporter or admirer of a person, cause, or activity or somebody or something that copies or imitates something else

It is not good enough to be believer. If anyone wishes to come after me", he said, "he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Lk 9:23).

To Be Or Not To Be Like Christ

To Be Or Not To Be, is of course a famous line From Hamlet. To Be Or Not to Be like Christ is the real question. Undoubtedly Christ is the central figure of the bible. As we wonder throughout life,we are constantly choosing our paths. The bible talks about two gates(Matthew 7:13) . One gate is a broad or wide, which leads to hell and many will travel it. However, the other gate is narrow with few travelers, and it leads to heaven.
