4 signs that you are getting closer to Christ

1 - Persecuted for the Gospel

Many people get discouraged when they are persecuted for telling others the Good News but this is a strong indication that you are doing what you should do because Jesus said, "They persecuted me, they will persecute you too" (John 15: 20b). And "if the world hates you, remember that it hated me first" (Jn 15,18:15). This is because “you do not belong to the world but I have chosen you out of the world. That's why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: 'A servant is not greater than his master' ”. (Jn 1920, XNUMXa). If you are doing more and more what Christ did, then you are getting closer to Christ. You cannot be like Christ without suffering as Christ did!

2 - Be more sensitive to sin

Another sign that you are getting closer to Christ is that you are becoming more sensitive to sin. When we sin - and we all do (1 John 1: 8, 10) - we think about the Cross and how high the price Jesus paid for our sins. This immediately prompts us to repent and confess sins. Do you understand? You may have already discovered that over time you have become more and more sensitive to sin.

3 - The desire to be in the body

Jesus is the Head of the church and is the Great Shepherd. Do you feel more and more the lack of the Church? Is there a hole in your heart? Then you want to be with the Body of Christ, the Church precisely ...

4 - Try to serve more

Jesus said he did not come to be served but to serve (Matthew 20:28). Do you remember when Jesus washed the disciple's feet? He also washed the feet of Judas, the one who would betray him. Because Christ ascended on the right hand of the Father, we must be the hands, feet and mouth of Jesus while on Earth. If you serve others more and more in the Church and also those in the world, you are drawing closer to Christ because this is what Christ has done.
