Agapeton View Profile History	WHAT IS YOUR SIMPLE DEFINITION OF FOLLOWING CHRIST?. Posted : 19 Feb, 2012 08:10 AM John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." That is the defining pinnacle of our faith and should be the mainstay of our walk in Christ to ourselves and all the world. John even re-affirmed it. 1Jn 2:3-12 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake. May the Lord Jesus Christ's Love be richly evident to you in your life, brother, and may your love be the evidence that you are in the Lord Jesus Christ. Post Reply

How about I take that answer back so that you can say it and I come back with another? Shall that suffice? lol But another portion of love can never be too much so why not just say it again! For all is well and good here because we are of the same ilk and have the same Father. So why not share the same words? Especially those of love. Post Reply

Posted : 19 Feb, 2012 03:58 PM No need to be sorry bro, was just kidding.:nahnah: It was a great answer and great minds think alike, cause we have the mind of Christ. There is a friend who sticketh closer than a brother. Prov 18:24 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.John 15:13 simple definition? self-denial Post Reply

Posted : 19 Feb, 2012 04:34 PM Blessings to you as well brother Scott, You are so right about trying to keep it simple, as we humans can complicate and analyze things beyond reason. The simplicity of the gospel is a beautiful thing. :peace: Post Reply
