If YHWH took a human form as *Jesus* so He could reach His creation and usher in the reign of God on earth, if he proclaimed this message in what He did and what He said, and if, in the end, He sacrificed Himself on the cross, then how do we who believe in Jesus follow him today?
Jesus, The Christ said in Luke 9:23 "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."
Before the glory comes the cross and a life of sacrificial service. You can still be a disciple of Christ in your daily life, you do not have to become a priest, minister or nun in order to follow God's word.
*Note: The Lord is known by many names, the purpose of this website is to focus

Salvation is NOT found in a religion or good works, but in a Truth... The LORD JESUS CHRIST!

How do you follow Christ in today's world? Simple . . .
First, get to know God and how He works. This can be done by reading the Bible. The Bible is for us so we can know the history of our creation and what His plans are for all of us.
Next, talk to God, let Him know what you are feeling, what your needs are. Allow Jesus Christ to become your "best friend". Open yourself up to the Lord God and in your silent prayers He will make Himself known to you through the Holy Spirit.
Lastly, do not be concerned if all this seems unreal, trust that God IS real and HE will grant you wisdom IF you seek Him with a pure heart.
Obey God's instructions and imitate Christ. This is the way that leads to Eternal Life, the life that we live now does not compare to what The Lord has available for those who love Him.
Christ - suffered for us, leaving us an example that ye should follow his steps. Christ is the only way of access unto the Father;
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. Without the way there is no going; without the truth there is no knowing; without the life there is no living. I am the way which thou should pursue; the truth which thou should believe; the life which thou should hope for" (Thomas a Kempis, "Imitation of Christ,")
