“He who says he abides in [Jesus] ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”  I John 2:6   Sometimes we make the mistake of viewing the Bible as a list of rules.  Certainly, obeying God and spending time with Him are important, but not because we need to be rule-keepers.  Jesus and the Father had a loving relationship.  When we have a relationship with God, we desire to spend time with Him and obey Him so we can become more like Jesus.  When we want to understand how to love, or how to be humble, or how to have faith, or even how to set our priorities, we can look at Jesus and follow His example.  Jesus calls us to follow Him.
