In today's Christianity, it seems people spend more time learning about Jesus versus learning from Jesus. Learning about Jesus creates a religious knowledge and a religious experience, but it leaves people wondering if church attendance, daily devotional book reading and singing religious songs brings results worth the time, energy, effort and expense. However, learning and copying the life of Jesus creates life transformation into the way of living Jesus requires.Over 70 times, in one way or another, Jesus demands two things from all of his followers: know what he says, and practice everything he says. John 1:17 tells us Jesus brought grace and truth. After finding grace, we must first learn to live in the truth spoken by Jesus, not Moses, not David, not Isaiah, or anyone else. Jesus spent over three years teaching people the truths they must practice to experience the great life he created for them. As disciples today, our love for God should motivate us to know and obey the commands and teachings given by God through Jesus. We all know we should follow what Jesus says, but many people struggle to know exactly what following looks like. In this study, you will explore over 100 commands taught by Jesus Christ for his disciples to know and obey. When we apply all of Jesus' commands to our lives, our lives transform into the image of Christ, and we really live the blessed life only Jesus provides.
