I am very good friends with Jesus. All my life I have known of him, but it really amazed me at what happened when I took him seriously enough to develop a give and take relationship with him.

But it isn't just what Jesus has done for me (peace of mind, well being, love, joy, peace, etc.), what is more important (you know, more blessed to give than to receive) is what I do for Him. Besides the basic stuff, I think what really does it for Him is when we sit still and listen.

Hi Karen!

Actually, I started this thread with you in mind!

Hey Mark,

Isn't the whole point that God does need the help? How is he going to win his bet with Satan if we don't cooperate? Jesus the used car salesman perhaps...

I meant Jesus doesn't need help (imo) doing his Logos and Savior things. G-d needs our cooperation to make the plan work, yes.

What does Jesus want us to do? How can we be the light of the world? How does that work? What does it seek to accomplish?

But isn't Jesus supposed to rustle up support for God's big plan?

Read His word, pray, believe, follow instructions...

Do not be afraid to tell people to read His word, pray, believe, follow instructions...
Realize that following the worldly way of doing things accomplishes nothing, therefore Read His word, pray, believe, follow instructions...

It accomplishes a good relationship with God.

What kind of instructions? Just Bible stuff, or a more personal plan that he works out with one on an individual basis?

You didn't get a list?!

Seriously, there is fellowship with fellow believers glorifying God (not hanging out with friends watching football or whatever) and regular spiritual nourishment. Church is a good way to accomplish both of these. As for a personal plan, that's between you and God. "Bible stuff" stands on its own.
