Jesus and Christian Faith

I am a follower of Jesus which means that I have endeavored to pattern my life after the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.  What does that mean?  It means that I choose the way of love, compassion, mercy, and grace.  I desire to love God with all that I am and to love my neighbor as myself.  Why?  Because I believe God has given love, compassion, mercy and grace to me!
