Jesus gives us many Bible verses about following God. The main point behind this list is that we should have devotion to the only God and his Son, Jesus Christ. But, there is more to it than that. God wants to give you a relationship with him, not just have you follow him. These are a few of my favorite Bible verses related to following God.
I have been a Christian for many years and have learned that there are verses in the Bible which seem to contradict others. A perfect example of this is where Jesus says:

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Mark 13:33-37
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they lead you away captive into any city, beware of them: and shake off their dust from your feet for a testimony against them. For a season will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
