Jesus' Role in Prayer
- Jesus is the way to God, not just a guide, because of his resurrection.
- This changes prayer for Christians, making it distinct from other religions.
Two Bases of Prayer
- There are two bases for approaching God: the pagan way and the Christian way.
- The key difference lies in why you believe God hears you.

- This basis determines the exchange level, like asking for directions versus a deeper request.
