While it is acceptable to end prayer in Jesus' Name, it's even more preferable to end it in the name of Christ. Though they are referencing the same person, Jesus was much a first name. Where as "Christ" is actually not His last name but rather His position as the Messiah. His office if you would.
We must pray through His name because He is our link to God. And although He IS God, He is God the Son and He intercedes for us or acts as the go between or Liaison between God the Father and man.
Also when you pray in the name of Christ it is liken to that of someone delivering a message say from the president. If someone comes to your door and commands you to appear somewhere, you might be inclined to blow it off. Or say "Under who's authority do you command me to appear?" Whereas if the messenger clearly identifies himself/herself as a representative of the authority that is bestowed upon them by the office of the Presidency to compel you to come; then there is no question and you are not likely going to be so willing to turn it down.
I hope that makes sense.
What else can I help you with?
Is it better to pray to the creator of Jesus or Jesus?
Jesus is GOD so when you pray, pray through Christ Jesus so that your prayers may be heard. no other way but the Jesus. repent from your sins, accept him as your lord and saviour then, you are saved Answer Jesus is a God in his own right. When we pray we pray to the Father through Jesus Christ who is our medieator between us and God the Father. With the kindest respect to the first to answer, we are saved after all we can do in righteousness. We are not saved by God's grace but by our own effort here on earth. A sinner cannot be saved by grace alone. He must repent and sin no more. Niether will a death bed confession save us for we will have no time to do good works and prove our worth.
Do you pray to Jesus and God?
Yes as they are our lord and god, and our creator we must pray to them only.Additional InformationIn the model prayer (often called the 'Lord's Prayer') Jesus demonstrates WHO to pray to "Our father, who art in heaven..."(Matthew 6:9-15) He later goes on to tell us to pray to GOD, THROUGH Jesus' name.(John 15:14-16)
To whom should you address your petition to God or to Jesus?
Jesus taught his disciples to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven. Phillipians 4:6 says to "Be anxious for nothing, but by prayer and supplication let your requests be made known to God." We do pray in Jesus name....for His glory. But we pray to God the Father, through the Holy Spirit that dwells within us, in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
How can you describe the power of prayer?
It is a connection to God. Christians worship God, cry out to God, pray out loud to God, and they pray in Jesus name.
Why do we pray to Jesus instead of God?
Christians pray to Jesus because they believe he is the Son of God and serves as a mediator between them and God. They see Jesus as the way to connect with God and seek his guidance, forgiveness, and blessings through prayer.
Since God is the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit do I have to pray to God or can I just pray to Jesus since Jesus is God?
Jesus taught us to pray...our Father who art in heaven... If Jesus prayed to the Father then it should be ok for you too.
Who do people pray to?
I am a main stream Christian and Pray to the God of the Holy Christian Bible. Specifically to God the Father, that is the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I end my prayer in Jesus's Name as it was He who has given me the authority to pray to God the father and this was by His death and resurrection.
Why should you pray in Jesus name?
God the father sent Jesus to earth to sacrifice Himself to take away our sin. This He did by dying on the cross, being buried, and then resurrecting the third day. Jesus by sacrificing Himself for us has given us the privilege of praying to God the Father. We now have free access to God. When we pray we pray to God the Father in heaven. And when we close our prayer we close in Jesus' name because it was He who has given us the authority to pray to God freely.
Who did Jesus pray with?
God.
How do you say by the Jesus name we pray?
When praying address the Heavenly Father, and end with 'in Jesus' name', amen. Jesus always stands between us sinners and the Father. When He died on the cross He became our mediator with God. This is why He (Jesus) said 'None enter the gates of Heaven except through Me'. Our only access to God and Heaven is through Jesus Christ.
What is Jesus trying to show through his teachings?
To love, forgive and to pray to god our creator.
Should you pray to Jesus?
No, you should pray to the Almighty God, Jehovah, doing so Jesus’ name since he is the intercessor between God and mankind. Jesus was his son and he taught that people should pray to his Father, Jehovah. This is who Jesus prayed to when he was on earth.
