So says Y O U...and who are you...?
I have not been taught an "IDEA" my friend. I have been taught the truth.
When Jesus says, "If you love me, keep my commandments."...
...I believe it, and I do it...because I love Him with every breath (of which I received from Him too) in me !
When God accounted Abraham's obedience as righteousnes...He said He would do the same for me, "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. Gen.26:5...and said, "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, Gen.22:16...and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me." Gen.22:18...
...I believe it, and I do it...because I love Him with all of my heart !
When Jesus says, "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." John 14:21...
...I believe Him, and I do it...because I love Him with all of my strength !
When Jesus says, "I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me."Prov.8:17
...I believe Him, and I do it...because I love Him with soul !
When Jesus says to me, "If you love me, you will obey what I command." John 14:15.
...I believe Him, and do it...because He is my Source !
When Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." John 14:23.
...I believe Him...and I do it..because He is my All-In-All !
When Jesus says to me, "If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love." John 15:10.
...I believe Him...and I obey...so that I have assurance that I remain in His love !
When Jesus says, "No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God." John 16:27.
...I believe Him...and I have learned that to love Him means to obey Him...and I obey...because my Father loves me for it !
When Jesus says, "This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,..." 1 John 5:3.
...I believe Him...and I obey...and it is a pure
JOY ! to do so !...His blessings pour out upon me ! \o/ Praise His holy Name !
And when Jesus says to me, "And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.' 2 John 1:6.
...I believe Him...and I obey Him...because
He says that THIS! is HOW! one who faithfully seeks Him walks in TRUE LOVE ! THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD !...NOT ! MERELY LIP SERVICE.
...and if you don''t like it cxjonz...it is definately
YOUR problem, not mine.
God Bless you dear friend. I pray before you die, you receive Him too.
Amen.
In Christ,
Verna.
