How? The best way to describe it would be to list what I would be like if I did not follow Jesus.
- I probably would be more selfish. I can honestly say that Jesus changed and continues to change how I view myself and treat others. If I did not give my life to Jesus, I would only think of me and at the expense of my wife, my daughter, my friends, and, really, everyone I know.
- I would not be compassionate. Jesus has caused me to care for people who I do not know in addition to people who I know. This has led me to be involved in serving the needy in my hometown, to sponsor two children in India through Compassion, to be working with people to help the world to discover Jesus, and to learn more about the needs of the world.
- I would be a bitter man and have an anger management problem. With following Jesus, I have learned to forgive (meaning I let go of my right to respond with what whoever caused hurt or damage to me).
