Why Become a Christian? by Brett Meador

Perhaps the disciples thought that everything would be smooth sailing when they chose to follow Jesus, but in Luke 8:22-25 they find themselves on the brink of death while being tossed about by wind and waves. If we likewise cannot expect ease and perfection when we follow Jesus, what then can we expect? As we seek to answer this question, we find the ultimate benefit we receive from Jesus and why we should accept His gift of eternal life.
