HowCanYouFollowJesus?<br />
˘ What will help you to bring your thinking into harmony<br />
with that of Christ?—1 Corinthians 2:13-16.<br />
˘ In what ways do you intend to follow Jesus more closely?<br />
—1 Peter 2:21.<br />
˘ How will you avoid the danger of cooling off in your love for<br />
Jesus?—Revelation 3:14-18.<br />
˘ How can you show that you really want Christ to rule over<br />
the earth in the near future?—Revelation 22:17, 20.<br />
the benefits of the ransom to every faithful human, raising<br />
such ones to perfection. Imagine yourself vibrant in<br />
health, ever young and strong, happily working with a<br />
united human family to turn this earth into a paradise!<br />
At the end of that Millennium, Jesus will hand the rulership<br />
back to his Father. (1 Corinthians 15:24) If you continue<br />
loyally following Christ, you will be granted a blessing<br />
so wonderful that it is hard even to imagine—“the<br />
glorious freedom of the children of God”! (Romans 8:21)<br />
Yes, we will have all the blessings that Adam and Eve had<br />
and lost. Earthly sons and daughters of Jehovah, we will<br />
be forever free of the stain of Adam’s sin. Truly, “death<br />
will be no more.”—Revelation 21:4.<br />
23 Recall that wealthy young ruler we discussed in Chapter<br />
1. He turned down Jesus’ invitation: “<strong>Come</strong> be my follower.”<br />
(Mark 10:17-22) Never make that mistake! May<br />
you take hold of Jesus’ invitation with joy and enthusiasm.<br />
May you be determined to endure, to continue following<br />
the Fine Shepherd day by day, year by year, and<br />
live to see him bring all of Jehovah’s purposes to glorious<br />
fulfillment at last!
