“Anyone who does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
MARK 3:35
To lay down your life for Jesus is not a metaphor. Letting go of all that is desired and "coveted" in this world is how you draw closer to Jesus. He lives in the Spirit. You are literally allowed full access to Jesus by simply giving your spirit - your life - to him.
In humbleness he will be there, in sadness and confusion he will be there. After you accept him as savior - love him as one and then also do as the book of life teaches. Jesus is the Only Savior - and he already conquered the world.
There was no mundane aspect to the life of Jesus Christ. He never said, "I suppose I will follow God today and see how that will work out." Every aspect of the life of Jesus was consumed by the will of Our Father in Heaven. His only will was that of his father. Through Jesus, we have access to our perfect heavenly family. Jesus is both Lord and Brother to those that call him Savior and King.
Jesus desires fellowship with you constantly through The Holy Spirit. Jesus initially selected a small group of people to teach "The Way." Jesus calls us to him freely. He does not impose his will or desires upon us but rather desires to teach us how to love one another. Pure love only comes from God as he is love. The only one that can teach love is King Jesus as that is "The Way" to eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven.
“So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.” Hebrews 2:11
“But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.” John 1:12-13
“If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead.” 1 John 3:14
