 'And this is love, that we walk after the commandments. This is the commandment that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it' (2 John1:6).

God is love and it is because He has put his love in us that we know how to love. We ought to love God with all our heart and all our soul and all our might and love others as we love ourselves. This is the agape love. This kind of love is selfless and focus more on others than ourselves. If we dont love God, then we can't know him, and is not of him. When you love someone, you know them through and through, you want the best for them and you'll do anything for them. Well God loves us and want the best for us and has laid down his life for us through His only Son, Jesus that we can be with him forever. What wonderful and amazing love! Love is not simply an emotion, but requires action as we see demonstrated by God in giving his Son as a sacrificial offering for our sins. God's love requires action based on his truth, as we obey his commands. This love, that is of God, is inclusive of loving one another as well as, walking in obedience to His truth. If we choose to follow Jesus, then we must love  one another, that is a direct command of God. Jesus said in John 14:15, "If you love Me, you will keep my commandment." It is the responsibility of each of us to heed the Word of God, to obey and walk in His way. It is the will of God that His  Children should walk In the truth of the Gospel and abide by it, as we received it when we first heard and believed. Let us keep ourselves in the love of God, by walking after his commandments, trusting in his truth, believing in Christ by faith and have love for one another. This is the sure evidence that we love Him, as we faithfully keep his commandments.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
