Luke 9:23-25
Accepting Christ means dying to the world, and dying to the flesh. Dying to the lust of earthly desires and vanity.
Accepting and following Christ means acknowledging your weakness and frailty knowing that you're not perfect; to be confident and totally dependent on God for in Him there is life everlasting.
What will it profit you to toil and gather riches, power and wealth only to die without knowing Jesus Christ without believing in his sacrifice and without fulfilling your divine purpose. Jesus calls us to live for eternity and to do the work he started; to bring people into the new life of His righteousness by faith as opposed to our righteousness by works (human effort).
We do not need be perfect before we approach Him. He knows our weakness and frailty, but by His resurrection granted us His righteousness, and all he requires of us is to preach His goodness to others that they might be free from the law, self righteousness, that he freed us from by identifying with His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary.
God wants to use you for His glory, now is the time to make yourself available. do not excuse your imperfection. He qualifies the called, he doesn't call the qualified.
"Whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it"
Be transformed
