Many walk around and cheer, for what they think Jesus has done for them, But what did you do to Jesus!

[PloughBoy]

without loving Jesus you do not know God period end of story !!

How can a person Love Jesus? If that person has not the ability to love Him? For I am quite sure there any many who wish they could love Jesus, Male, female, or child but they know not how, I am quite sure there are a host of sinners that wish that they could Love Him with all of their heart , soul and mind. with all of their strength. And they cannot obtain that goal. Aurelius Augustine might would have said that to Pelagius. Now what would be Pelagius answer? For Augustine had one, which was displayed in His "Confessions" upsetting "Pelagius". Now may I say, what saith thou, "Dave M"?

Those who love him, know him, you obviously do not know him. or his word. You have made that clear. and I thank you for your honesty.

I am done here have a good night,

John 14:23
Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

Have we turn our backs, on Him, Have we ignored His words, have we counted His commands as unHoly persuasions, and His truths distasteful and we refused to sit at His table and look into His face. Have you looked in the Cup He drunk from. Have you felt the pain, have you observed the "Via Delarosa" have you refused to gaze into His eyes, and wondered why was it necessary to take this path. What have you done with Jesus, have you turn your back on Him? and refuse to walk the path but have chosen your own way and refused to deny yourself.
(Hebrews 10).
"First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy".

[Those who are being made Holy, and the others are not]

The most important thing, I believe, when you are a disciple of Jesus, you have HIS commands and you follow them. The greatest command is Love: Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. Tough to follow, I know, and I believe we all know. But we must do as Jesus commanded to the best of our ability. How? By proclaiming HIS gospel message to the lost and hurting world around us so that those seeing and hearing you might also want what you have: Jesus. As Charles H. Spurgeon once said: "You have never truly found Jesus if you do not tell others about HIM."

And how do you do this: " Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength"? By:

NASB 1977
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

The worlds definition of love, is a feeling, is how you feel about something or someone. For that is not THE love of GOD or the type of love, GOD wants you to exercise. For that Love the world exercise is from the flesh. For GOD has made this TRUTH clear by HIS unadulterated "WORD"

1 John 2:3
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
2 John 1:6
And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

We the true "sons of GOD' do not walk in the flesh, but we walk in the SPIRIT! and Not by our 'human" feelings! That is The True Love of GOD, walk in The Spirit and not the flesh!

For in which many of people have abused the LOVE of GOD, Teaching for Doctrine, the Doctrine of humans for The Doctrine of GOD! and These are "Christians" who are doing this! Calling Him LORD, LORD and doing nothing HE has said, but going around establishing their own "righteousness" for the righteousness of GOD!
(Romans 10)ASV
"For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth."

That is "The Nut Shell ", ' Do it the the way Christ said or do not do it at all, for HE has Had the LAST WORD concerning Righteousness!] So stop trying to establish your own righteousness! The Buck stops at JESUS! LOVE is not a feeling, GOD's LOVE is obeying HIS COMMAND! and Not how you feel.

So if this hurt your feelings, and emotions, I do understand! But we most go beyond and press for The High Calling that is in "Jesus Christ" OUR LORD and MASTER! For our Calling is Difference, press down in "humiliation" punctuated by pain and suffering into a "living Sacrifice", place upon The Alter of GOD, shape by a "Double edge sword" that is able to separate the "Joints from the Marrow" and placed, into the Purifying Fire of GOD.

Finally as I come to a close, may I remind you of this, "Child of The Living GOD:"
(Isaiah 43)BSB
"Now this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers they will not overwhelm you.When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;"

I hope I have encourage some and have compelled others to "Search the Scriptures" to see , if they have obtain eternal life.

I truly Love you my Brother and Sisters in Jesus Christ Our LORD.

Shalom

How I do it, that is: love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength? I surrender to HIM, not half of me, not three-quarters, not ninety-nine percent, but all of me. God living in me is my strength and I do nothing of myself, but HE that dwells in me guides me and directs me and provides me with the AGAPE' that I could no more exercise on my own than I could change the date of my physical birth or the moment I was regenerated by the Holy Spirit. When I know that God is my strength and my refuge, I am able because HE who indwells me, HE who is my everlasting spring, HE who is my eternal source, HE is able.

So it is GOD who does the loving and not we ourselves.

So it is GOD who does the loving and not we ourselves.

God does the saving. God does the regenerating. God does the indwelling. God does the sanctifying. God does the redeeming. God gives the strengthening to the regenerated soul to be in God's will to do the things that God wills, and God wills that we love HIM and love others as HE loves, and then we do it.

Are you in God's will?

There are a number of "non free-will predesinationists" who would answer, they have no choice but to be in God's will.

I would not argue with them. I would only ask them: Are you sure?

I perceived you did not read post #24 at all, but i did give you the benefit of the doubt. For i do discern that you are a student of "plagiarism" and practice deception in arenas you know nothing of, neither have you labor legally in such matter pertaining to the Truth. So I will, from now on take my leave of you sir.
Play your childish games with others and not me! You need not to reply!
