why are there people who'd DIE for Jesus?

that might be YOUR question.
the answer is rather simple actually; because He died for us.(everyone of us, yes, you too)

does Jesus expect all of us to die in return of His actions? NEVER.
He wants us to LIVE instead. following Christ isnt easy, we have each a cross of our own to carry.

maybe you'd ask again, "why would someone want to suffer for Christ (like following the bible and hv a restricted life)? isn't there always a choice of happiness? why would someone choose the hard way? isnt that stupid?"
i'd say..NO, that isnt stupidity. that is what i call OBEDIENCE.

people have proclaimed themselves as christians yet is only using that status as a mask. real christians are those who dare to take on whatever is given to them. The Lord would not give us something we couldnt handle. problems shape us into a better us. do not give up, do not be defeated by problems. overcome them and you will GROW.

at first i was clueless as well. i didnt know what "LIVING FOR CHRIST" means. i blurly just tailed what people say and had quite a hard time accepting the facts. i was so BLIND. anyone remember that book, 'purpose of driven life'? when i read it the first time, i thought it was just too much. how was i supposed to surrender my life to God, Jesus? How come i needed to start living for Him? I didnt understand.

"if this is the life He gave me, why am I still supposed to let Him use me to do His things. this wouldnt be my life anymore if that was to happen, isnt it?" I thought.

then slowly i opened up. i thought i'd let Him in my life abit, but not interfering too much either. then i wasnt in love with God yet.

many people have alot of questions about christians, i know. following Christ isnt easy, but a christian gotta do what a christian gotta do, isnt it? when you decide upon something, keep your words and initialize something.

now, this is the extreme case lah, but if you were to answer one question: would you die for Jesus?
