When I first found out about Jesus Christ I didn't know Him, I just knew about Him from others. I followed others advice on what I should do to know Jesus. The first thing I learned was that I should read the Bible, join a church and pay my tithes and offerings. It took me years to finally fully join a church, because every church I ever attended was not Christ-like . It was always gossip, a fashion show, and no one pastor believed every scripture the same. Everyone had there own interpretation of scripture, even myself. I was still a sinner after reading the Bible, going to church, and tithing. I was the same before I went to church, and after church service was over. I was the same before reading the bible, and after reading the bible. I was the same before tithing, and after tithing. I still didn't know Jesus, but I thought I did, and I acted like I did. I became a pharisee. Judging others base on my knowledge of scripture being a sinner at heart. If you were a women preaching I felt you weren't called by God. I judged people by there income, If you got money you were blessed in my eyes, and I believed if I didn't get that job then maybe I didn't give my church enough tithe and offering. It was all about Jesus serving me, not about me serving Jesus. Until I was at my lowest point in my Life, I realized sin is keeping me from truly following Jesus. I could trick people into thinking I was following Jesus, but I couldn't trick Jesus, because He knows us from the inside out. I truly repented of my sins, and I truly wanted to deny myself each day and live for Jesus. It wasn't about pleasing myself anymore , but striving each day to please Jesus. I finally understood that I needed Jesus to guide me in every aspect of my Life. Down to reading the Bible. Without the holy spirit directing me and teaching me all things I am following myself, and self will lead you to damnation. Jesus is the only way to be saved. If your not getting directed by Him in everything , you are not doing the will of God. Being pleasing to Him is all that matters. Being a people pleaser is good if you want to make friends , but will not please Jesus. You have to have a relationship with Jesus, trusting Him above everything, and everyone. Ask Jesus about everything ,what He wants you to read, speak, write, everything. Jesus is alive! Seek Him! Follow only Him! Trust only Him!
