How does Jesus measure success?

The world equates success with results.

Jesus thinks differently. He does not measure success by productivity. 

Your desire to do works, keep laws or pursue religion will not create success or impress Jesus.

Jesus measures success by those who are devoted and loyal to Him above all else. They are obedient to the voice of Jesus regardless of the cost or lack of logic. 

The Christ follower walks by faith believing in the promises of Jesus and not what He sees with his eyes.

He lets go of independence and control over his life.

The secret is to give the Holy Spirit authority over your life and listen for His wisdom.

The Holy Spirit will teach you how to live by the values of Jesus in all the routine and unexciting moments of life. This discipline can then be expanded to the bigger challenges of life. 

The importance is to understand success comes from Jesus and not self achievement. 

Jesus desires for you to build a personal and embracing relationship with Him. He wants a believer to pray vigilantly, read the Bible, and listen for His voice.

Jesus wants you to reach out to Him for your every need and sever your ties to the world. 

Jesus tells believers success comes from the blood of Jesus and an open heart to turn away from darkness. 

The success of Jesus is creating a humble and contrite human vessel who has no need to boast of himself.

The Christ follower knows he is nothing without Jesus!
