Everyone says Jesus loves me…but how do you love Jesus…

Everyone says Jesus loves me…but how do you love Jesus…

Listen to what is written Jesus said… If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments...John 14:15.

 

So if we want to return the love Jesus has for us then what are His commandments…

As it is written… Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? And He (Jesus) said unto him, You shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, You shalt love thy neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments the whole law hangs, and the prophets...Matthew 22:36-40.

 

Jesus taught us many great things but the one thing you want to get right is to love God by obeying His commandments…with all of your heart, mind, and strength. When a Jewish ruler asked Jesus how to inherit eternal life Jesus asked if he kept the ten commandments…As it is written…

And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why asks thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou would enter into life, keep the commandments...Matthew 19:16-17.

…He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet...Matthew 19:18-20?

 

When asked Jesus said we could worship God any day of the week not just on Saturday (Sabbath) by the woman at the well…the commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy was so you would not have to offer a sin sacrifice by breaking one of the other nine commandments. After the cross we now go to church on Sunday the first day of the week by a commandment…and still must keep ourselves Holy by keeping the other nine commandments… But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth...John 4:23-24.

As it is written… Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come...1 Corinthians 16:1-2. If you keep the Ten Commandments by loving God with all of heart, mind, and strength then you are walking in Spirit and Truth and able to worship God not only on the Sabbath day every day, if you have sinned then you must repent and seek reconciliation then walk in Spirit and Truth again, but Christian congregations were told to meet on Sunday after the cross.

 

Prayer

Please help us have the morality of the Ten Commandments and help us walk in Spirit and Truth so we may worship you and be accepted…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our sinful pasts…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

No lie is of the truth...

Do not be deceived no lie is of the truth…

My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil...1 John 3:7-8. For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restrains now, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of His mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of His coming; even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness...2 Thessalonians 2:7-12. Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour...1 Peter 5:8. Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you...James 4:7.

 

Are of the liar or do you practice the truth? How many lies did you tell yesterday…? 0…Always telling the truth and practicing the truth is where salvation and faithfulness begin. Jesus Christ is the source of all truth…He is the truth and has no part in a lie. He saves liars by teaching them to practice the truth….to tell the truth. It is better to say I do not know than to make up an answer…it is better to remain silent than to speak a lie. Liars do not go to heaven they have a place reserved in the lake of fire and brimstone. So do not be deceived the moment a person tells you a lie you cannot trust them to be a Christian… And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever...Revelation 20:10.

 

Prayer

Father our Creator God please help us be filled with the truth and to never lie…please supply our needs for the truth so we can walk with Jesus in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Start the New Year by renouncing evil and begin walking with Jesus Christ…


Will you renounce satan and any other except God and Jesus Christ kingdom and begin this new year walking with Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd of our souls…yes or no? If you are not a Christian then you are walking in darkness but you can become full of light be choosing Jesus Christ as the truth, as the way you live, and the life you will be living for eternity. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He died on a cross and was raised from the dead so He could make it easy for you to tell the truth and practice what is right by God and fellow man. Jesus said you will know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8:32).

 

It is written…

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is the darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (this world)...Matthew 6:19-24. You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stands not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own (own will and imagination): for he is a liar, and the father thereof (the first liar)...John 8:44. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master's use, prepared unto every good work. But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strife (arguments). And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure (perhaps) God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will...2 Timothy 2:21-26.

 

You do not want to be liar like satan do you…yes or no? But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death...Revelation 21:8. You cannot participate in a lie and please our Creator but need to learn the truth and practice the truth. Jesus will give you the truth but you have to be faithful with it and then He will give you some more truth to be faithful with…it is called practicing the truth. Do you practice the truth…yes or no? You can start practicing the truth by doing what Jesus said…listen…as it is written He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned...Mark 16:16. Do you believe Jesus died and rose from the grave…yes or no? Have you been baptized…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Creator God of all gods we renounce anyone but You and Your only Son Jesus Christ so we may practice the truth from You…please cleanse us of all the unrighteousness of our pasts and help us start a new year with you a new…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and create whatever we need to be faithful and please heal us from the works of the evil one…and confirm this truth to us…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
