There are 66 books in the Bible, 1,189 chapters, 31,102 verses. Every word inspired by God. Yet the most powerful and most ignored verse is John 14:15 “Jesus said IF you love me keep my commandments “. RC Spourl wrote in his book “the souls quest for God” Nothing can be in the heart that in not in the mind. our hearts cannot be inflamed about something we know not of. Unless we know God deeply, we cannot love Him deeply.
Jesus said “If you love me? Keep my commandments “
Christians who are biblically illiterate have no idea what if is to love God, yet believe to be saved.
Biblically illiterate Christians are going to get a very rude awakening someday.
In Matthew7:21 Jesus said “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven “.
Knowing the will of the Father requires time in the scriptures; one who truly loves God is always looking for a commandment to obey; not looking for excuses not to.
A deep understanding of God, starts with denying one self, Jesus said to His disciples “if any man is to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me “.
John 1:1 states “In the beginning was the word (commandment) and the was with God and the word was God”
If you don’t know God’s word (commandments) you don’t know God. True Love requires commitment, a commitment driven to know the will of the Father. To do this is to say AMEN!!!
