What do you think a good bible verse would be to describe a True Jesus Freak?

I am just curious as to what you think it would be.What do you think a good bible verse would be to describe a True Jesus Freak?
Acts 4:31


And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.





';What would people do if they hear that I'm a Jesus freak. What would people do if they find out it true. I don't really care if they lable me a Jesus freak, there ain't no deny'n the truth! I ain't in to hide'n....the truth!';





That's you bro!

(((SFCU)))What do you think a good bible verse would be to describe a True Jesus Freak?
20) “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21)For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22)But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” (2 Peter 2:20-22)
our father who art in heaven


hollowed be thy name


thy kingdom come


thy will be done


as it is done in heaven


give us this day our daily bread


and forgive us of our trespasses


and those who trespass against


lead us not from temptation, but deliver us from evil


for thine is the kingdom, the power and the golry


forever and ever. amen.
I would go with Romans 8:31


31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?





Or


Mark 12:30


30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'





The idea that freak means ';An ardent enthusiast'; as described by Toby McKeenan (of DC Talk), shows that we should be totally sold out and live each day like an enthusiast of the love of God.
jesus freak are awesome dude, i would suggest reading the bible your self there fore there is more meaning to the words --%26gt; check these out
Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
For a true Jesus Freak (not your average, mentally healthy Christian):





';Hell hath no fury like a hipocrite with a microphone.';
The whole book of leviticus has multiple verses that can really turn people into a Jesus Freak. Or the books of revelations.
All scriptures about John the Baptist!!!
thou shall not plant thy seed into an old sock and then bury it in the hamper like it's been there for a long time.
one there is nothin wrong with being a Jesus freak because they are the one usually who turnes out to be good a succeed in life
Anything from Leviticus would be fine.
ME..I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… the verse about love your Lord and your neighbor as yourself..u know that one
Love the next one such as you have loved the one before. (A very good verse, If you know what I mean.)
Jesus wept.
Psalm 23:1
I would consider a ';Jesus Freak'; any martyr or any man who dies in Jesus' name and would therefore consider Acts 12 where James (one of Jesus' favorite disciples), younger brother to John a good source for dying a martyr's death.





A. James the apostle dies as a martyr.





1. (1) Herod harasses the church.





Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church.





a. Herod the king: This is Herod Agrippa I, the grandson of Herod the Great, who ruled in the days of Jesus’ birth (Matthew 2:1-16). Herod Agrippa I was also the nephew of Herod Antipas, who had a role in the trial of Jesus (Luke 23:7-12).





b. Stretched out his hand to harass some from the church: No doubt, this was done because it was politically popular for Herod. It pleased many of his citizens who didn’t like Christians. Many political figures are ready to persecute Christians if it will make them politically popular.





2. (2) The death of the apostle James.





Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword.





a. Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword: This is a new development in the history of the church. James is the first of the twelve who followed Jesus to be martyred.





b. Up to Acts 12, the church has been on a “hot streak,” experiencing one exciting conversion after another. First there was Saul of Tarsus, then the Gentile centurion Cornelius, then the mixed crowd of Jews and Gentiles in Antioch. But in Acts 12, the ugly opposition inspired by Satan again raises its head.





c. James is certainly not the first Christian to die in faithfulness to Jesus. Stephen (Acts 7:58-60) was martyred before this, and certainly others were also. But the death of James shattered the illusion that somehow, the twelve enjoyed a unique Divine protection.





d. James the brother of John, in particular, might have thought to have been “protected.” He was one of the special intimates of Jesus, often mentioned with his brother John and with Peter (Matthew 17:1, 26:37, Mark 5:37, 9:2, 14:33; Luke 5:37, 9:2, and 14:33).





i. But Jesus promised no special protection for even His closest followers; He warned them to be ready for persecution (Matthew 10:16-26).





ii. In Mark 10:35-40, John and his brother James came to Jesus and asked to be considered His two chief lieutenants. Jesus replied to them, You do not know what you ask. Can you drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with? James and John, not really knowing what they were saying, replied by saying they could. Jesus promised them, You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized. This martyrdom was the fulfillment of that promise for James. John fulfilled it by a lifetime of devoted service to God despite repeated attempts to martyr him.





e. Normally, with the sword means that James was beheaded.





i. Eusebius relates a story from Clement of Alexandria, who says that the soldier who guarded James before the judge was so affected by his witness that he declared himself a Christian also and was willingly executed for Jesus along side of James (Eusebius, Church History 2.9.2-3).





f. Significantly, there was no attempt to “replace” James, as there was to replace Judas (Acts 1). This was because James died as a faithful martyr, but Judas revealed his apostasy in betraying Jesus. There was no need for another man to take the office of James.
THIS IS SPARTA!! AUTOBOTS TRANSFORM!! lol,, sorry ahem THIS IS SPARTA!!
Anything from the Gospel of Jesus.
