If we truly love Jesus, we will put in effort to try and advance God’s kingdom. ![]() Jesus knows that if Peter really loves Him, Peter will continue to spread the gospel when Jesus is no longer physically there. Jesus tells Peter if you love me, feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things you know that I love you.” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”ġ7 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”ġ6 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” ![]() When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” Let’s look at what John 21:15-19 states.

And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! Romans 10:9 states- If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ![]() So what does this mean? If you just believe in Jesus is that it? What does believing in Jesus mean? And this is not your own doing it is the gift of God. I had a conversation with a buddy on this topic so I thought I’d share some talking points.Įphesians 2:8 states this - For by grace you have been saved through faith.
