I have been a Christian for quite a few years, and the longer I am the more I realize how people see Jesus in us, is how they see Jesus. If we speak truth to the them, and point fingers at their sin, and never share how Jesus has changed us with His love and transforming power, why would others want to know Jesus? Yes, we are to speak truth, but Jesus spoke truth and love. How do people who do not believe see Jesus in you today? My own answer is this- "I pray that people see the love of Christ in me as I reach out to share the truth of how Jesus can change lives, because He changed mine."

First of all, I need to ask where does anyone get the impression from my question that I do not worship the only God? Have you read the NT lately? Jesus is the exact representation of God. Jesus is the only way to the one true living God- and besides what does this have to do with my question?

I really REALLY want others to know about Jesus and about God. I will address some issues here in other questions. Don't get distracted...you had a great question here!

I do! In fact, it grieves my spirit to see some of these remarks "questions" about the Lord as they can be so unloving and mean, at times! If only they knew how much HE loves them and desires them to come to HIM. There is NOTHING in this world which compares to the love of Christ/God! I just wish everyone knew this and could experience His love, joy and FORGIVENESS!

I'm sure Adore Him does praise God as all Christians do. But we are to be Christlike in our actions.
I worship no one but God but to pray to God you must go through Jesus first.

Thanks for sharing this post with us today. I come on this site primarily to point someone to Christ and to both nurture and strengthen the faith of those who are already in Christ. We have many weak Christians logging on and on the verge of giving up their faith. They to need our prayers. The adversary is out to discredit faith in God. Thanks for upholding the Light of his love to others. Be faithful.
May God bless you.

I'm very happy for you that you have discovered your way in life. Now allow me the same thing. I'm Jewish; Jesus is not my Messiah; I'm as happy and fulfilled as you are. I know that's hard for you to understand, but you have to understand that just because you can't understand it, it doesn't invalidate my beliefs and feelings.

I don't believe that there are any Christians who wouldn't"t want others to come to know Jesus.

I am a Christian woman who builds her marriage on a strong structured and spiritual foundation.
Matthew 7 - The Wise and Foolish Builders (NIV)
24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Luke 6 - The Wise and Foolish Builders (NIV)
46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 47I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."
Luke 6 - Judging Others (NIV)
37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
39He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

I agree with Caz...the only being you should worship is GOD and GOD alone, since well, he was the creator of everything, including Jesus. Also, as Caz pointed out, its right there in the bible, in the 10 commandments at that..."worship none except me"
