Following Christ Alone!!!

We are also walking "Law", Jesus Christ is the Law Giver, He lives in us and His principles are the very essence of Who He is, ignoring them is to ignore Him.

When Christ Himself lives in us why would we want to seek anyone else but Him about anything. He may send us to someone with a skill or an answer, but we follow no one else.

1 Peter 2:21

"For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps."

Matthew 16:24

"Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."

John 8:12

"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 10:27

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."

I see no instruction in God's Word to follow men!!!! Paul said; "follow me as I follow Christ", meaning follow Christ not Paul.

1 John 2:3-4

"And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,"

Nowhere in God's Word does He say to follow anyone but Christ. If anyone tells you that you should follow them, rebuke the devil who is using their mouth to manipulate and intimidate you.

When we are close to Christ and follow HIs voice we will not feel any need to follow groups, crowds or individuals.

1 Peter 1:14-16

"As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
