Four Questions for Commitment
Exodus 3: 1-15
In order to truly offer ourselves to the Lord with complete commitment, we, like Moses, must answer three key questions.
• Who is God? In Exodus 3, the Lord started the dialogue by using a burning bush to get Moses’ attention (v. 2); then He introduced Himself as the God of his forefathers. (v. 6) No less than four times in this passage did God reiterate His identity. He knew that Moses would be unable to take even the first step of faith until he knew the One with whom he was speaking. Likewise, we cannot wholly give ourselves over to God until we first come to know Him in Jesus Christ.
• Who am I? Once Moses knew who God was, his next question established a sharp contrast, as if to say, “Okay, I know who You are, but who am I?” (Exodus 3:11). Isn’t it wonderful that the Lord answered Moses’ question with a promise? In verse 12, He essentially replied, “I will tell you who you are — you are the one whom I am with.” Here, God gave Moses’ life significance based not in the man’s deeds, but in God’s own glory. Now, that’s a noteworthy life!
• Why am I here? My friend, there is only one reason why you and I are alive today: passages like Matthew 5:16, Romans 15:5-6, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and 1 Peter 2:12 make it perfectly clear that our job is to bring glory and honor to God by the way we live, the way we speak, and the way we love.
Knowing these truths deep in your heart will revolutionize your commitment to the Lord. Have you settled them in your heart and mind?

To understand the living of Jesus Christ can we read the Holy Book called "Bible", while it may have been written by his fellows, but they have given accounts of his life so minutest in detail that One can easily follow his teachings / preachings and DO Good to any living form on this earth.

No its not totally possible to follow the principles of Jesus Christ, but to some xtent u can follow. since we r human being we cant become God. But we can love other people selflessly. In one birth we cannot become perfect. To bring perfection in ourself we have to follow numbr of things, like we have to through away our anger, greedyness, lust. Love everyone without any expectation. Through away ur liking & dislikings. Always forgive and forget.
Have faith on god & leave everything in his hand. Do good to people.

Yes. Love God with all your heart, mind, and soul, and Love your neighbor (fellow man) as yourself. Those are the two principles Jesus taught. If you love someone (agape love) (love is a high and holy principle, it is action) you will treat them accordingly.
Does that satisfy your question?

The principles given to Prophet Moses (Peace be upon him) became outdated and new principles were given to Prophet Jesus Christ (Peace be upon him), those principles were became out dated on the introduction of principles given to Prophet Mohammed (Peace be on him).
So, if you want to lead a life acceptable to God. You must follow the priciples given those prophets. But one condition, you should live in the era of those prophets. Prophet Mohammed ( Peace be upon him) was the final prophet. Hence you should lead your life on the principles given to Prophet Mohammed ( peace be upon him)

You cannot do it on your own, you have to totally surrender your life to Jesus Christ and let Him live His life through you. Also by hanging out with other Christians who will encourage and help you on your journey with Christ and to also hold you accounable.

Obey the ten commandments of the old testament.
Be humble, simple, meek, mild. Love others as yourself. Treat others as you would want to be treated. Do not judge others. Do not condemn others.
