Hi!
In the Word of God there are many things that God wants us to do. It is not only one thing...but if it comes to a push...God gave two important commandments that we should obey:
To love God with all your heart, soul and mind. This means that whatever you decide in your life, you will check if it pleases God or not. When you love someone, you are not ashamed of talking about him. And when you love someone you do things you would not normally do. For example, I quit my relationship of the woman I used to love with all my heart for Jesus,she did not want to live for Jesus.
To love God is to be in wait for the next commandment He gives you and to admire His character...The fact that He is so powerful yet He is nice Person. He prefers mercy before judgement. You admire His ability to love people who hate Him.
Another thing is like it, You are to love those around you from your heart. Loving someone is not to act out the principles of love e.g. patience, kindness. To imitate love is not to love. You either love or not.Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you to love and you will be able to love others.
When you love someone, you will tell them about Someone else you love as well!You will also desire that they should taste of the wonderful love of that Person. Your desires always lead you to do something.(unless one is lazy).When you love someone, you do not pretend that you know Him, you diligently seek to know the Person. Many people like to act holy and pious...that is not true Christianity. True Christianity is to agree with the truth of Jesus in your heart.
And you can be rest assured: What is in your heart will eventually come out in your works. How much you worth Jesus Christ, will by all means will be seen in your everyday life e.g. How you handle your finances will tell how much God is worth in your life, How you handle your relationships will tell how much Christ is worth in your heart. We know the tree by it's fruit.
You are welcome to communicate with me. Hug!

Your doin a great job already if you have faith in Jesus Christ and a desire to serve him!
Read the Bible and study it!
The more I learn, and pray, the more I feel my relationship grow stronger. I feel my faith grow daily.
Fully surround yourself with God, and avoid sin. Do what God would want you to be doing. Voulenteer, do nice things for the comminuty, Help the needy. It feels wonderful to get out there and do nice things, and help make the world a better place.
At the same time, share the good news with people. Hand out tracts, little Bibles and share the message of Jesus to those that want to hear it. Don't be pushy though.
You can pray to God too and ask him what path he wants you to be on.Ask him for guidance.
Here are some great Christian links to help!

i don't think of Jesus meant for the physique of Christ to do foot washing for all time. It became a logo of serving others. of direction, in those days while human beings walked long distances in sandals, their feet have been given very grimy and mandatory washing. It became the custom to often times wash the feet of the travelers they well known lots or felt obligated to and enjoyed. we are to serve others in techniques which would be demanding for us, yet do what they choose.

Jesus said If you love me keep my commandments. When you do this unto the least of these you have done it unto me. Pray, study, share with other believers. Listen to the Holy Spirit. Believe and exercise your faith. Serving others is the main thing we are to do. Jesus example was to meet the needs of the people He came in contact with, showing compassion and treating them with love and concern, desiring their best well being. Once He had met their physical needs He bade them "follow me"

Study your Bible and pray daily, and God will direct your path. Make sure that you make all decisions and actions on the premise of "What would Jesus do?" and you'll be fine. Keep your faith and don't let anyone put doubt in your mind. Don't study other religions to "find the right one" for you already know you have the right one. You've chosen a great path, stay on it.

Not one but 4. 1 Read your bible regularly. 2 Make prayer part of your life. 3 Fellowship regularly with other believers. 4 Share you faith when you have the chance. In all this like the rest of us keep reflecting on what bad habits you should overcome. This is part of our pursuit of holiness though saved by grace.

Be His witness to other's and spread the good news of the old story. Let others know about hell and eternity, and present Christ's blood as the eternal remedy for damnation and seperation from God...Love thy brother as thyself...No greater love has any man than he lay down his life for another.

I am not God so I don't know what plans he hold for your life,
but the best thing I suggest is research all areas in your life submit them to him and then you can start asking what else he wants you to do...
goodluck brother
