Must you commit your life to Jesus to be a disciple?

You must commit your life to Jesus
Christ to be a disciple. There has to be total allegiance, no reservation,
Jesus above ALL else.
What was the Cross a sign of?
‘Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. ‘
Luke 9:23
The Cross- was a place of execution, death. Carrying the cross was a
sure sign of impending death. We must die on our own cross, daily. At
the cross, we must surrender all self-seeking interests that does not
coincide with the Word and the will of God for our lives.
Does Romans 10:9 seal your salvation?
‘If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ‘
Romans 10:9
Romans 10:9- repeating this scripture does not seal your salvation,
it is only to beginning process. You must yield your will and your life
to Him.
Is absolute surrender required when it comes to the will of God?
Luke 9:57-62….Let the dead bury their own dead.
Yes, Absolute surrender is required! The opinion of others do not matter
when it comes to the things of God. Only God’s opinion matters.
Can you have other “gods” in your life when being committed to God?
‘They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. ‘
Romans 1:25
No, when you are committed, you can not assign other people or things as
gods in your life. It dishonors God when we give first place to anyone
and anything else above and before Him.
