Here is a question that I have been wrestling some over.

Do all people become followers of Christ out of need?

I find this question interesting because I know people who are “good” people.  In other words they do a lot of things right.  They make right decisions with their life.  They are people of integrity.  They love and care for others.  They don’t talk bad about others.  They make it a point to live healthy productive lives.  With logic and strong reason, a person could live a pretty good life.  A person might even look at the fruit of their lives and draw a comparison with someone who is a Christ follower.

When confronted with the gospel – what is the buy in if you will for the “good” person?  Let’s just say, they don’t see a need.  Most probably don’t.  After all, they are doing just fine on their own.

Knowing that the Holy Spirit is the One who reveals Jesus, is it possible to follow Jesus out of logic and reason and not just out of need?  Or will a “good” person only become a follower of Christ when he sees his need?

Thoughts?
