sorry I ment "BESIDES"

sorry I ment "BESIDES" and not "BESISES"

Answer 1

The "habit" of Jesus most to be patterned in the Christian's life is self-sacrificial love, "agape" in Greek. When the English translations of the New Testament use the word love, they almost always are translating that Greek word. Implicit in self-sacrificial love is the belief in all-inclusiveness. No one is outside of the Christian's sphere of love. This is why Jesus told us to pray for our enemies and be good to those who even persecute us. Agape was the hallmark habit of the life of Jesus, and so the Christian's.

Answer 2

Christ's ministry wasn't about him, or how he lived. Actually, very little is known about the day to day life of Christ.
We do know that:
1) He believed in charity and feeding the poor (everyday). He fed 5000 people on 3 fish and 2 loaves of bread.

2) He believed that the church should be a place of learning and quiet introspection and prayer. We do know that he kicked the money changers and people who were selling sacrificial animals out of the synagogue.

3) He was humble. After he healed the sick and made the blind to see, he would always say, "I didn't do this, rather my father, who is in heaven did this, through me."

4) He healed the sick and infirm. There are multiple references to his healing the sick, curing leprosy, returning sigh to blind people, healing lame people.

5) He loved children. Every where he went, he said, "Let the children come to me."

6) He socialized with people that other people wouldn't go around, such as tax collectors, lepers, Gentiles, and sinners.

7) He taught that we should love each other, like we love ourselves, and should treat everyone the same way.

8) He was a traditionalist. His first miracle was at a wedding.

9) He taught that the only way to enter heaven was through his teachings, and that following the religious law of the time wasn't the way.

10) He though pride was a sin, and he didn't care for the rabbi's that held themselves higher than the people, and showed it at every turn. Rather, he taught that it was better to pray in secret and do good works anonymously.

11) He believed that you should live according to the laws of the realms and should pay taxes. "Render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's, and render to God what is God's."

12) He taught the benifits of tithing, (Giving ten percent of your income) to the Church. He applauded the faith of one poor lady who gave everything that she had to the poor.

In conclusion, he taught that his disciples could enjoy a life of Freedom and happiness, and that the old religious laws didn't apply anymore.

Answer 3

Christians believe that Jesus summed up the law in two simple points:

1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind.

2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
