So often we only look at "love" and think that is what this means, but I challenge you to make it real in your life, JESUS DID NOT OWN A 3 BEDROOM 2 BATH HOME AND HAVE 2 CARS . He had no horse, no donkey, no house/home of his own. He had no frig full of food or such of His time ??? And most of the time He was ignored, treated as an outcast by most of the people ????? Do you live like that ? And if not, are you really living close to how Jesus did ?
1 John 2 4-6 If someone claims, "I know him well!" but doesn't keep his commandments, he's obviously a liar. His life doesn't match his words. But the one who keeps God's word is the person in whom we see God's mature love. This is the only way to be sure we're in God. Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived.

And looking at the other side yes Jesus loves us all and forgives us, but just like an earthly parent, ... when he cured the 10 lepers and only one came back to thank Him, He asked, where are the other 9 ? Jesus did hold folks accountable, He was not this ever smiling, always accepting any behavior for every day folk. He wanted them to see their ways. I challenge you to give some real thought to how your life compares today to His ? His family thought He was crazy and ???? what did he work to possess, Only God's will and the Kingdom of God, now a new SUV or 2000 Chrismas presents for the under the tree ????

And a disobedient life shows there is neither religion nor honesty in the professor. Disobedient first means ANY LYING, ANY DECEIVING ANYTHING SHORT OF THE TRUTH !!! How do you add up there each day, is a little white lie OK with you and you think Jesus knows it is OK to make money etc. ?

And those who walk in hatred and enmity to believers, remain in a dark state. ,, so, in reality, every time you want to take vengence, you are sinning and how do you really feel and talk about the people in your work place or neighborhood or church, look at what you really say and think , don't give lip service to God's word

If we are truly aspiring to live like Jesus, please tell me then in what ways you are living like Him, Did he not say to the rich young man, give up all you have and follow me, how about mother teresa ? what is your main focus 98% of the day, a new boat, cable TV, good fine and wine or helpting the untouchables in India, which really would Jesus do today if HE were on earth, do you really think he'd be sitting around watching the super bowl at a big party ?????????

Hey, I do not have a new car and 2,000 presents under the tree.
I give thousands of dollars a year for the students that I teach.
Yes, I live in a nice house. Yes, I have a car. Yes, I accept the money that is paid to me for the job that I do.
I do make it real, but I do not think that Jesus expects all of His followers to do nothing but go around preaching and ministering to others while not working at all.
How can you help those who need it without money?
I do not live as an outcast to most of the people I know.
Why?
I treat them as I want to be treated, and they like that.
Would you hate someone who was kind to you?
What do you want people to do so that theyw ill be considered outcasts?
Please tell me.
How can Christians in 2007 minister to and help others when they have no money, no home, no job, etc.?
Get real.
You sound extremely sanctimonious and judgemental, my friend.
You must have money, for you are on a computer right now.
Hypocritical, is it not, to chastise us for having money and nice things?

I love the Lord with all my heart and I do my very best every day to serve Him because He is so worthy. However, I believe I may be reading your question wrong. To me it sounds like your saying you believe if people aren't poor and desolate they don't love Christ. That's not correct. God wants His people to prosper. He doesn't want us fighting for a morsel of food or "wanting" basically for anything. He said He would supply all of our needs and that includes transportation, food, a place to live, electric.....and He does provide those things but we have to pay for them. And since we have to pay for them we have to have jobs and work. It doesn't mean we have to be glutenous for the things of this world but just because you drive a decent vehicle and have clothing on your back doesn't mean you don't love the Lord. I'd share anything I have to someone in need. The Bible says also if you see your brother in need of a coat give him your cloak also. So even in the Bible days God knew we had need of sometimes multiple items of the same facet. If I read your question wrong I do apologize. But yes I do try to aim to live like Jesus did in love and helping all I can.

what's a jesus? is that some minotaur-like creature or is a snake? does it fly? does it make human beings have self belief that it may heal those with a wave of the hand and a saying of the magick words? doe sit down tension human beings to assert issues in his call? does itpersistent human beings mad attempting to serve him 24/7? does it "write a e book" and tell those that this e book is the single and purely certainty and that in the event that they don't have self belief it, they're souls will burn for all eternity in some make shift scare tactic observed as hell? i think of it does...

just because we have fancy cars and other things doesnt mean we are not following jesus's way of live. jesus was a caring and understanding person. he was kind to all and opened the gates of heaven to us. we should live for him because he gave us a life to live!!
