Becoming More Like Jesus

Verses of the day - John 5:46-47 (NRSV)

If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.  But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?

In chapter 10 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about following His Commandments.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

Come and follow Me and I will show you the way to come home to Me.  If you follow the laws that I give, nobody can take you away from Me.  My laws are the Ten Commandments that I gave to Moses on the mountain.  In order to draw closer to Me, following these Commandments is a must.  Everyone sins and falls short of My Glory, but by following My Ten Commandments you will learn to be more like Me.  Let My Divine light shine before others so they may see the good that you do.  By doing good for others, they will see My Divine glory shining brightly.  Keep Me close to your heart, and I will show you the way to live.

Moses did as I commanded him to.  He was on the mountain with Me, when I gave him the Ten Commandments.  These Commandments were set in stone for the world to see.  It is by following these Commandments that you are able to achieve eternal life.

If we all followed the Ten Commandments which are the ways of God, the world would be a much better place; however, we are all sinners and fall short of the Glory of God.  The Ten Commandments are guidelines that Jesus gave us to follow.  When we break these Commandments, we sin against God and we need to confess our sins so that we will receive forgiveness.  If we follow the Ten Commandments that were given to Moses, we will learn how to become closer to God.  When we follow His Ways, we become more like Jesus.  Our eyes will be opened to the wicked ways of the world.
