Yes, I do, and yes, I would. Unfortunately, as Paul said, that which I would not do I do, and that which I would do I do it not. This is what makes Jesus' love even more amazing, that while we all were sinners to be, he died for us.

I want to say yes, and I hope it is true, but, I can not say honestly from my heart.
Read John 21:15-17. You have to really read this to catch what being said. Jesus was asking Peter if he loved Him more than anything and Peter could only say he loved Jesus as a Brother.
There are two Greek words being used in their conversation. Agape and Philo (Spelling may be off). Agape is Unconditional God love. Philo is Brotherly love (Philadelphia, City of Brotherly Love). As you read this, when Peter speak say Philo and the first two times Jesus speaks say Agape. The third time Jesus speaks say Philo. You should understand then why Peter was hurt. Peter could only say from the Heart he loved Jesus as a brother. AND, there not many Preachers tell you this! ;-)

Yes I love Jesus and I know I am a sinner and fell short of the Glory of God but that is the reason I love him so much because he forgives me so many times when I fail him

No I love the Savior YAHOSHUA. "Jesus" is an impostor, or a pagan name given to the real Messiah in total defiance of Ex. 23:12

No, and even those who claim they would do anything for him won't. How do I know this?
Jesus said: "There's one thing you still need to do. Go sell everything you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come with me."
When the man heard Jesus say this, he went away gloomy and sad because he was very rich. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "It's hard for rich people to get into God's kingdom!" The disciples were shocked to hear this. So Jesus told them again, "It's terribly hard to get into God's kingdom! In fact, it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into God's kingdom."
I don't see a lot of christians giving away all their possessions.

Jesus not only died for us, he braved this world and lived for us. Why do so many people forget that when the describe Jesus. I say he lived for us, taught us, and died for us to prove his point. Then God raised him from the dead to prove to us that through all of Jesus (his life, his teachings, and his death and resurrection) God proved the point that we too could have life after death.
I don't go to church anymore. I just read the Bible (especially Jesus' words)

Yes! Even though I'm struggling right now, I know He is always there for me and loves me very much. I don't know if I would do anything for Him, but I hope I would.

You dont DO things for Jesus. Whether you belive in him or not it makes no difference. If the point of life is to DO things for God then there is no point to existence at all. Jesus wants us to DO things for each other.
