The concept of following is central to the Christian faith, emphasizing discipleship, obedience, and the imitation of Christ.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>While the term "followers" is not explicitly used in the Old Testament, the concept is evident in the relationship between leaders and their people. For example, the Israelites followed Moses as he led them out of Egypt (<a href="/exodus/12-37.htm">Exodus 12:37-38</a>). The people were called to follow God's commandments and statutes, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/13-4.htm">Deuteronomy 13:4</a>: "You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him."<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the call to follow Jesus is a recurring theme. Jesus invited individuals to become His disciples, saying, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men" (<a href="/matthew/4-19.htm">Matthew 4:19</a>). This call to follow was not merely a physical act but a commitment to embrace His teachings and lifestyle.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also speaks of following in the context of imitation. In <a href="/1_corinthians/11.htm">1 Corinthians 11:1</a>, he urges believers, "Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ" . This highlights the importance of following the example of those who faithfully follow Christ.<br><br><b>Characteristics of Followers</b><br><br>1. <b>Obedience</b>: Followers of Christ are called to obey His teachings. Jesus emphasized this in <a href="/john/14-15.htm">John 14:15</a>: "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments" .<br><br>2. <b>Self-Denial</b>: Following Christ involves self-denial and taking up one's cross. In <a href="/matthew/16-24.htm">Matthew 16:24</a>, Jesus states, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me" .<br><br>3. <b>Faithfulness</b>: Followers are expected to remain faithful to Christ, even in the face of trials and persecution. <a href="/revelation/2-10.htm">Revelation 2:10</a> encourages believers to "Be faithful, even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life" .<br><br>4. <b>Love</b>: Love is a defining characteristic of Christ's followers. Jesus commanded His disciples in <a href="/john/13-34.htm">John 13:34-35</a>, "A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another" .<br><br><b>Examples of Followers</b><br><br>· <b>The Disciples</b>: The twelve apostles are primary examples of followers who left everything to follow Jesus (<a href="/matthew/19-27.htm">Matthew 19:27-28</a>).<br>· <b>Paul</b>: Once a persecutor of Christians, Paul became a devoted follower of Christ, spreading the Gospel throughout the Roman Empire (<a href="/acts/9.htm">Acts 9:1-22</a>).<br>· <b>Timothy</b>: A young pastor mentored by Paul, Timothy is an example of a faithful follower who continued the work of the ministry (<a href="/1_timothy/4-12.htm">1 Timothy 4:12</a>).<br><br><b>Challenges for Followers</b><br><br>Followers of Christ often face challenges, including persecution, temptation, and the struggle against sin. Jesus warned His followers of the cost of discipleship, stating, "In this world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world" (<a href="/john/16-33.htm">John 16:33</a>).<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The call to be a follower of Christ is a call to a transformed life, marked by obedience, love, and faithfulness. It is a journey that requires commitment and perseverance, with the promise of eternal life for those who remain steadfast.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2052.htm"><span class="l">2052. eritheia -- rivalry, hence ambition</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Feminine Transliteration: eritheia Phonetic Spelling: (er-ith-i'-ah) Short Definition:<br> ambition, rivalry Definition: (the seeking of <b>followers</b> and adherents by <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/2052.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/3402.htm"><span class="l">3402. mimetes -- an imitator</span></a> <br><b>...</b> example. 3402 ("emulator, imitator") is always used in the NT (seven times) --<br> of <b>followers</b> of emulating a God-approved example.
