I Peter 1:22: "Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere **LOVE** for your brothers, l**LOVE** one another deeply, from the heart."
I Corinthians 13:2,4-8: If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not **LOVE**:hearts: I am nothing...**LOVE**:hearts: is patient, **LOVE**:hearts: is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. **LOVE**:hearts: does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. **LOVE**:hearts: never fails!!"
John 13:34: Jesus says, "A NEW command I give you: **LOVE**:hearts: one another As I have loved you, so you must **LOVE**:hearts: one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples."
John 14:23: Jesus says, �If anyone **LOVES**:hearts: Me, he will obey My teaching, My Father will **LOVE** him, and We will make Our home with him.�
Matthew 28:19.20� Jesus commands, �Go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to *OBEY EVERYTHING* I have commanded you!� {See I John 2:3-5}
EVERYTHING would also include all the other commands in God's inspired Word from Acts to Revelation as per 2 Timothy 3:16: 4:2: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work...Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction."
If we really **LOVE**:hearts: our brothers and sister in Christ we will lovingly teach them to obey all the approximately 400 commands of the NT with **LOVE**:hearts: in the hope of countless eternal rewards when Jesus comes with great power with all His angels.
Revelation 22:112: Jesus says,"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!?
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, For the Son of Man is going to come in His **FATHER'S GLORY WITH HIS ANGELS**, and **THEN** He will reward each person according to what he has done."
Ephesians 4:15: "Speaking the Truth in **LOVE**:hearts:, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ!"
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
[[[ 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. ]]]
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
*** YUP~A~Roo...TC Buckaroo...No Condemnation in their at all...or in this Scripture to follow...:bouncy:..
Romans 8:1-5
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
*** Ima so truly grateful that I understand the differences betwixt the condemnation in the Scriptures above and condemnation in the Scriptures below..Its so simple that even a child can understand it...Thank you Yahshua...XO
John 3:18-20
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[[[ 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ]]]
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
