Following

Ephesians 5:8-10 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord.

At the point of Salvation we seek to surrender our lives to Christ and follow Him. However we do not know what exactly that look likes. Salvation begins with recognizing that I am a sinner and that there is a penalty for my sin. That penalty is death and eternal separation from God. Salvation is the beginning of recognizing that God the father sent His son to pay my debt for Salvation through His death. I then accept that the gift that God gives through Christ and begin to follow Him. But what does that look like and this becomes the process of finding out just how to follow Christ. How do I find out? It's through reading the Bible and then as we find out what to do we do it. Obedience is key to the process of following Christ. Today as I walk with God my prayer is that obedience will mark my life.

Father give me the determination to follow after you and may I be obedient to whatever it is that you teach me today.
