The new covenant commandment that Jesus Himself gave trumps the law of the old. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the law of the prophets” (Matthew 22: 37-40)
When we have received the indwelling spirit of God and are truly born-again- (Gospel John 3:1-21), we are able to walk in love as Christ has also loved us. Therefore if we truly love God and our neighbors, we will not make PRACTICE of sleeping with our neighbors’ spouses, or lying to them, or envying them, stealing from them, murdering them or worshiping other “gods” for that matter. In essence, when we keep the commandments of Christ as mentioned in the opening statement, we are not believing that our salvation comes through works of Old Testament “laws or rules” , specifically keeping the 10 commandments, keeping feast days, sacrificing animals, burning incense, whole offerings, etc., but we are simply walking in love which covers a multitude of sins.
You see, grace is love. When we receive the grace of Jesus we can began to WALK in (PRACTICE) love. When we were babies, we had to learn how to walk. We were held up by our hands why we practiced. Our strength and our steps became stronger as we practiced. Our walk with the Lord should be progressive as such. Walking is taking steps, putting one foot ahead of the other in one direction with a purpose and destination. You see, we cannot walk If we are standing still. There must be a pursuit. We must pursue Jesus. When we pick up our crosses and follow Jesus, we are pursuing His righteousness and holiness. We have the ability to do this because Abba, Father will uphold us with His righteous right hand. Jesus died for our sins, yes. We have redemption through His blood, yes. He does not have to die again, no. He does not. It is a perfect work, yes. His grace through this belief (faith) saves us, yes. Each time we sin He is faithful and just to forgive, yes. But, we cannot possibly PRACTICE habitual sin with no regard (lawlessness) and say we have fellowship with him or love Him, NO(Epistle John 1: 3-11)! We can do this in our minds, thinking we can fool God, but God is not a fool. He searches the heart of every man. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. They are higher.
(Ephesians 5: 1-7)Therefore be followers of God as dear children. (2)And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. (3)But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; (4) neither filthiness, nor foolish talking nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather give thanks. (5)For you know that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of God.(6) Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. (7)Therefore do not be partakers with them.
When the love of Jesus’ is perfected in our hearts, through the help of the Holy Spirit, we WILL bear spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:16-26), namely, “LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” that gives us the ability to crucify the flesh.” If we lack in the product of spiritual fruit, odds are, we are more prone to walk in the flesh. What is the worth of a fruit tree that does not bear fruit? You decide: (Luke 13:6-9) 6 He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.9 And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that[a] you can cut it down.’
Is it getting any clearer? What does all of this have to do with anything? The greatest gift and commandment is love because it displays characteristics of all spiritual fruit. So I suggest to you that if you lack in spiritual fruit, perhaps there is something wrong with your love. Conversely, if there is something wrong with your love, then there is cause to evaluate and improve your walk with Christ. Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” Peter said yes, but Jesus already knew that Peter’s love would fail thrice. Well, you may say, we are not perfect, we can’t love like Jesus. On the contrary, if a perfect Jesus now abides in us, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. If He does not abide in us, that again is a problem. We cannot do anything on our own. That is where we fail. We say Jesus is the source and strength of our life, but we are not letting him be the source and strength of our life. We must submit to Him in order for Him to make us like Him.
This is a reproof of what many believe to be love. Perceptions of love have become perverted and that’s why many marriages fail. That is why infidelity is so prevalent. When man takes “lust” for love and expects that to stand, it cannot stand because there is a weak foundation, therefore nothing to stand on. So if we can err in properly loving another human-being, we must definitely check our love for Christ if we want to enter into a marriage Him. If we are trying to love God with the same carnal mentality, then what kind of relationship do will we have with Him? He who says, “I Know Him,” and does not keep His commandments (not talking about the law of Moses, but the new covenant commandment), He is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is PERFECTED in him. By this we know that we are in Him (John 1:4-5).Who is he but a liar that says he loves God and hates his brother? We know from Revelations 22:15 that dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murders and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie all have their reward. The pit!
Therefore, repent, TURN AWAY FROM ALL SIN, ask for forgiveness daily of any and all sins that you may have committed throughout the course of everyday. Jesus is faithful and just to forgive. Submit your will unto the Lord. Pick up your cross and follow Jesus. That means deny yourself, and ask Jesus to transform you. He will help you. If you make the effort to do His will, He will see you through. We know God’s will from His word. We must read it and DO it. We must be hearers and Doers of it (James 1:22). For faith comes by hearing the word of God. We can have no faith of such things we have not heard of. Know that Jesus loves you and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We cannot comprehend the things God has prepared for those who truly love Him. This world is not our home. These things that we see are only temporal, but the spiritual is eternal. Do not compromise eternal promises of royalty for illusion of happiness. If you have not received the gift of the Holy Spirit, ask Him (Luke 11:9-13) and He will give it to you. –THIS IS URGENT! YOU ARE ALREADY LIVING ON BORROWED TIME; GOD’S SPIRIT WILL NOT STRIVE WITH MAN FOREVER ON THIS EARTH.
WARNING:
Get ready for the soon return of Jesus. Warnings have gone forth and the hour of judgment is upon us. Here comes Tribulations and Great Tribulations the world has never seen nor experienced. You are seeing the beginning pangs now: Increase and greater tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, sinkholes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are only the beginning at the very least. You have no idea of the things to come. Things you have never known will overtake man’s hearts in fear. It is time to be serious. The chosen, faithful and true are protected, but all others are already in great danger.
YOU MUST PROCLAIM JESUS UNTIL DEATH TO BE SAVED. YOU DO NOT KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF YOUR TOMORROW SO CHOOSE YE TODAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE AND REMEMBER, THERE ARE NO RANKS OR REWARDS IN HELL FOR YOU. YOU WILL ONLY BE TORTURED AND BURNED FOREVER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! I LEAVE YOU A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND DO NOT BOW TO ANY OTHER GODS BUT JESUS AT ALL COSTS. THE ANTICHRIST ON EARTH WILL SAY HE IS JESUS SO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT TOO. THE REAL JESUS “YESHUA WILL NOT SUGGEST THAT YOU BOW TO GRAVEN IMAGES, STATUES, OR DEMONS. IF REFUSING MEANS STARVATION, TORTURE, OR OFF WITH YOUR HEAD, THEN LET IT BE SO. THROUGH THIS SUFFERING AND DEATH, YOU CAN STILL BE SAVED. JESUS CHRIST “YESHUA HAMASHIACH” IS THE ONLY WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE WITH THE FATHER IN HEAVEN, CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.
