Love?
Posted : 2 Jun, 2011 09:44 AM

Hello everyone.



I hear many people saying.

'I love Jesus so much'.



Yet whose love are we resting in,My loving Yeshua.

Or do I rest in that Yeshua Loves me.



What is the difference?



John 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

John 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

John 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

John 21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

John 21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.





Shalom

We love God if we OBEY God.



Faith Without Works Is Dead







14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, �Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,� but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.



18 But someone will say, �You have faith, and I have works.� Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe�and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, �Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.�And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. James 2

More versesL



�If you love me, you will obey what I command. �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. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching" (Jn. 14:15, 23, 24).



"This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands. This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome�" (1 Jn. 5:3).



"So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter" (2 Thess. 2:15).



"What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus" (2 Tim. 1:13).



Note also:

�As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day" (Jn. 12:47, 48).

@Bahira:



Bahira says:

We love God if we OBEY God.



POIC says:

Are you saying that you Obey every second of every day.

If not than you do not Love GOD.



Have you ever confessed this before Him.





Bahira says:

Faith Without Works Is Dead





POIC says:

Are you doing good works every second of every day,

Or do you do works every day.



If not than you do not love GOD.



Have you ever confessed this before Him.



Bahira,most of us have a very shallow understanding of GOD Himself,and his Grace,forgiveness,mercy and patience.



Yet we have a high view of ourselves.



There is a book 'When men are Big and God is small.



This could be interesting for both you and i to read.



Shalom

Mr.Meanie

Love is a verb, not a noun.

It depends on the instance as to whether it is a verb or noun.



God is Love Noun?

Has anyone ever told you they loved you but always failed to show it?



You say love in a verb and not a noun, I say love is more than saying it, its doing it...

You got me there PJ, but would venture to say when one says God is Love it denotes His actions toward man come from who He is.

That is very true Two, but nobody Got anybody, I once heard a while back that if God is love, and God is the word, then everything he said is love talking, that will get your attention.
