What is expected of true christians?

For all of those who are true Christians, who understand His Word, who have been given the knowledge of God, the requirements of salvation are clear. As Peter put it, �REPENT, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit� (Acts 2:38). �REPENT therefore and BE CONVERTED, that your sins may be blotted out� (Acts 3:19).

The keys to eternal life, therefore, are to believe on Christ as the Messiah, and to follow His steps in all ways (I Pet.2:21) � to obey His every Word (I John 2:3-6). To strive to live by and obey �every word of God� (Matt.4:4; Luke 4:4).

But the �bottom line� for ALL is to LOVE your neighbor � for if you don�t do this, then all the rest is nothing but vanity and hypocrisy � empty air and foolishness!

You can keep ALL the commandments � the weekly Sabbath, the annual Holy Days, avoid unclean meats, abjure Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and all the other PAGAN holidays; you can wear fringes on your garments (Num.15:37-41; Deut.22:12), you even give your life as a martyr, but unless you have LOVE for your neighbor, it would ALL BE IN VAIN � just a VAIN SHOW � NOTHING BUT VANITY!

In truth, Yeshua summed it ALL up when He said, �Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for THIS IS the Law and the Prophets� (Matt.7:12).

Mic 6:8 You mortals, the LORD has told you what is good. This is what the LORD requires from you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to live humbly with your God.
