Introduction: Who are you following? Paul writes to the Church of Corinth… “1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” (1Cor 11:1).

Here are some traits of Jesus Christ’s followers:

1. Teachable! 

“1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” (2Tim 2:1,2)

We first need to be students. Even after teaching for over 4 decades, this Pastor is still a student of the Word of God. Help us Lord to remain teachable, not gullible, yet reliable. 

2. Leadable!

“3And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” (Luke 9:23)

Are you denying SELF and following Jesus?

3. Faithful!

“2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” (1Cor 4:2)

Can you be trusted? Being faithful over the small things brings about opportunities to be stewards over bigger things. 

4. Accountable!

“0For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (2C0r 5:10)

Standing before Jesus Christ at the Judgment Seat instills an urgent sense of accountability.

5. Responsible!

” For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” (Luke 12:47-18)

Growing in grace means more responsibility. While some shy away from responsibility, others seize the opportunity with humility. 

Conclusion: Can you see these traits in you? Where do you need improvement? Hopefully, this list will encourage those who Follow Jesus better FOLLOWERS!
