10. The easy answer is to follow Jesus, but what do I have to do to do that?

This is what the Urantia Book has to say: “(196:1.3) To "follow Jesus" means to personally share his religious faith and to enter into the spirit of the Master's life of unselfish service for man. One of the most important things in human living is to find out what Jesus believed, to discover his ideals, and to strive for the achievement of his exalted life purpose. Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it.”

One time, Jesus agreed that we should love God and our neighbor as ourselves. And the parable that he gave showed that everyone is our neighbor. Another time, Jesus washed the Apostles feet to show how important it is that we serve one another. And forgiveness was important in Jesus’ ministry; he even forgave those who nailed him on the cross. And so should we forgive those who have wronged us.

In paper 146, the Urantia Book says: “The Father in heaven has forgiven you even before you have thought to ask him, but such forgiveness is not available in your personal religious experience until such a time as you forgive your fellow men.”
 

And we can grow spiritually through unselfish prayer to God and sincere worship of his loving nature. And as we grow spiritually, it will be easier to love difficult people and we will more often wish to serve our fellow human beings.
