Do you "walk with" or "follow" Jesus?

In your opinion: is there a difference? is one action better than the other, or are they both the same?

    Nope, only waiting so as that as many human beings as accessible could be saved. besides the shown fact that with mankind degenerating morally, bodily and spiritually with ever increasing velocity, methinks the top is close to. 2 Peter 3:3-9 - 3Knowing this known, that there shall come interior the final days scoffers, walking after their very own lusts, 4 And asserting, the place is the promise of his coming? for because of the fact the fathers fell asleep, all issues proceed as they have been from the beginning up of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are unaware of, that via the word of God the heavens have been of previous, and the earth status out of the water and interior the water: 6 wherein the international that then became into, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 however the heavens and the earth, that are actually, via a similar word are saved in keep, reserved unto hearth against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly adult males. 8 yet, loved, be no longer unaware of this one ingredient, that sooner or later is with the Lord as 1000 years, and 1000 years as sooner or later. 9 The Lord isn't slack appropriate to his promise, as some adult males count selection slackness; yet is longsuffering to us-ward, no longer keen that any ought to perish, yet that each and each physique ought to come to repentance.

    I think they are basically the same thing. To follow or walk with indicates following the example of Jesus when it comes to your daily life. For me, it means having a personal relationship with Jesus and God which results in my walking with or following his example.

    There is a difference, I try to walk with Jesus which is the correct thing, I sometimes fail .Jesus is always with me so I do follow.

    I have yet to meet a person who does either, have you? People who talk like that cherry pick the things about Jesus that they agree with and like, but dismiss the rest. When they are confronted about this, they whine don't judge me I am just a poor little forgiven sinner. Does that sound anything like something Jesus would say to you?

    Both .

    If you have ever read footprints sometimes he also carries you.

    One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was

    walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the

    sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he

    noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one

    belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When

    the last scene of his life flashed before him, he

    looked back at the footprints in the sand. He

    noticed that many times along the path of his life

    there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed

    that it happened at the very lowest and saddest

    times in his life. This really bothered him and he

    questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, You said that

    once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all

    the way. But I have noticed that during the most

    troublesome times in my life, there is only one set

    of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed

    you most you would leave me." The Lord replied,

    "My son, My precious child, I love you and I would

    never leave you. During your times of trial and

    suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it

    was then that I Carried You."

    Source(s): I had to learn this the very hard way.Experience is a great teacher,but I tell you this it is surely the most painful way to learn.But when you learn this way believe me you will not forget.

    It is kind of like a man and a woman walking. He puts his hand on the small of your back to lead a little ways, but you are still walking by his side.

    Ultimately the question is "is salvation in acts or deeds"

    That's up to each man to decide.
