Why do we pray to Jesus and not to God?

Answer 1

According to the Bible, Jesus is the Son of God, the Creator.

Many Christian religions embrace the teaching of the Holy Trinity. What this means is that the Christian God is 3 different coexisting people who are still really the same person. (God - the Father, Jesus - the Son, and the Holy Spirit)

According to Christian religions, God sent Jesus, His Son, to Earth. His intention was to have Jesus be able to lead God's children to Him. (There is so much more to the story of Jesus that will not be covered in this answer, but you can look Him up and read about Him.)

(Note: some Christian religions reject the idea of the Trinity.)

Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ from the New Testament.

So basically, people worship Jesus because he is God who came to Earth.

It is worth noting that some religions also reject the idea of Jesus all together. These often believe that Jesus was a prophet, rather than God himself.

The word worship comes from the word "worth"; Jesus is worth-y of adoration and adulation - worship - because He died for all the offenses against God which mankind committed or ever will commit. He came back from the dead as proof that God was satisfied with His sacrifice. He has extended the pardon which He paid for with His life to everyone who will believe He is God; to anyone who will believe His story. Christians worship Jesus because He is worthy of it. He earned it the hard way.

Answer 2

Christians praise Jesus because, he is the son of God, and the saviour of the earth. They praise him because he is Christ, our Lord ... Christ- ians.

We also praise Him because we know personally what He has done for us. Praise also lifts us out of the petty things of this world to true and eternal realities.

Answer 3

From the perspective of most Christian denominations, those at least that hold to the divine nature of Christ, Christ is the high priest and therefore the one intermediary between man and the Father.

Answer 4

Christians pray in order to get help from all lifes troubles from the supreme being. also for basic purposes like blessing meals being thankful to God and praising Him.

Answer 5

A:Christians pray to God because they believe that God is real and can help in times of need. Some may also believe that by praying they can assure themselves of a place in heaven.

Answer:

Christians pray to God via Jesus Christ as we were instructed to do so - asking all things in Jesus' name. We have a God Family member become a real man divesting Himself of His divine God Family power and living amongst us to become sin for us and pay the penalty for said sin. Through the gift of faith in Jesus Christ, we may find eternal life as a child of God in the God Family coming to Earth - not heaven as His Word (Scripture) tells us.

More generally, man was created with a spirit within him to search out for His Creator (Job 32:8). This innate drive and the vast order and array of the physical Universe, compels us to wonder about the Creative power involved. The complexities of life itself, which cannot adequately be explained by any other so-called 'theory' needs a creator, and designer, and lawgiver for that order. And lastly, we are Created for a purpose by our Creator to have a relationship with Him whether we understand that or not. Communications via prayer is the greatest tool we now possess. Just look at all the tribes of men throughout history striving to find their source of being. Unfortunately, due to our rebellion against someone above ourselves, we have gone drastically astray with many gods of stone/materials and not the One, True, Living God of all.

Answer 6

I can only answer for myself. I believe that The Bible is the insprired word of the one true God. God promised us a savior and a savior He delivered in the form of Jesus. We can do nothing without Jesus. He tells us in the Gospels, that no man will come to the Father without the Son. We have no choice. Jesus died for us and He is our buffer between us and God's judgement. I don't know about you, but I want Jesus standing there when God is passing judgement on my life.

Answer 7

Christians, true followers of Jesus, pray to his Father, Jehovah God. They do not pray to Jesus because he is not the Almighty God. Jesus prayed to Jehovah when he was on the earth and he referred to Jehovah as his God in Revelation 3:12 states, “‘The one who conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem that descends out of heaven from my God, and my own new name. ”

Answer 8

Because salvation can only be got through believing that Jesus died for the sins of the world.

Answer 9

The Christians pray to Jesus because they are Christians. And they believe in Jesus. It's their religion. They also pray to God.

Answer 10

because thats what he told us to do, it works...trust me
