"Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."<br />Matthew 5 section 43-48 says: "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.<br />In Old Testament, the Jewish people and their ancestors were given the Law to observe. First, What Adam and Eve should observe was that they could not eat the fruits from the tree of wisdom. Then, their son Cain was told that he should not kill. As sins became increased, the laws were also added more. Up to the generation of Moses, the Law in Old Testament was given to Israelites. We know that the Law is good and the Law is used to punish people who commit sins, but people cannot obey the Law because the sinful spirits are in people. Even that we know stealing and giving false testimony are sinful, but greedy and pride spirits in us drive us to do sinful things. So as Old Testament prophesied we need to get rid of our sinful nature from our spirits. <br />Ezekiel 36 section 24-27 says: "'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.<br />The prophecies are fulfilled when Jesus begins to teach love. The two greatest commandments are " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Love is above the Law and if people have love they are free from the law of sin and death. People who are full of love will not think about stealing or giving false testimony but are merciful and they feed hungry people or give thirsty people something to drink or invite strangers in or clothe people who need clothes. The Law is for people who commit sins. Nobody will say that he will get reward because he does not steal before. But love is the grace we get. And with love we will get eternal life. <br />Romans 13 section 8-10 says: Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.<br />John 4 section 23-24 says: Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-11212289970350268102017-05-12T01:39:31.641-04:002017-05-12T01:39:31.641-04:00Thanks a lot dude for sharing about Free Audio Dow...Thanks a lot dude for sharing about <a href="http://www.zopaudios.com/" rel="nofollow">Free Audio Download</a> king.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03742662598329608344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-91283773916855410582017-01-01T14:45:51.165-05:002017-01-01T14:45:51.165-05:00Thanks for the comments @Ruben and @turk182.

I know, you're just expressing it in its pop form, but I'm concerned about how many people really don't know the difference, or see any difference. <br />With God, the law of sowing and reaping can be interrupted by his grace, but karma is an endless cycle of reincarnations that are supposed to end in nothingness (nirvana). So, it's like comparing hope with hopelessness, or oranges and bluejays. <br />I'm pretty sure there's forgiveness for killing blue jays, although I'm not sure about mocking jays, and then there's PETA to contend with, oh my. <br />Maybe if you wore a pyramid hat when you jog the planets would go back into alignment, and the blue jays would leave you alone?! It's worth a shot.<br />Sorry, I had eye surgery yesterday and a m still a little dingy and bored ;-)<br />TripAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082172427170815409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-77927317150109989802015-05-11T22:49:10.289-04:002015-05-11T22:49:10.289-04:00That's funny stuff.

The mom and dad were driving Kalkidan to a friend's house for a daytrip when they lost control of their vehicle on snowy roads. Lisa fractured her hip and collarbone, Russ was fine, but 13-year old Kalkidan died immediately. They had poured their lives into this child--adopting her from Ethiopia when she was a young girl. She had just a few months prior finished inpatient treatment for emotional issues related to her life prior to adoption, and Lisa said their family finally felt normal after years of struggle. <br />Their whole family was gathered for a Super Bowl party, which was supposed to be a happy, carefree event. Lisa says the group was stunned to silence when the commercial air. Sucker-punched. Bandaid ripped off a raw wound. Every negative analogy you can think of. :(<br />Btw, she's one of my favorite bloggers.

I'm asking you to forgive me. My failure is not one of caring, but one of faith--that God would bring real good out of atrocities that were inflicted on a baby, leaving her to a lifetime of total dependency. He didn't heal her; He healed you, Susan and--I hope--Charity. I also hope He has reached Paul.<br /><br />Reading this has been a serious reminder of those first days, weeks, months and years, from times of despair to times of hope--that, with the right treatment, Allie might learn to walk, or talk, or. . . . God had another plan, and one day, Allie will walk, run, talk, and eat at the feast table of Christ Jesus.Vicki Smallhttp://passionsforthesoul.typepad.com/vickinoreply@blogger.com
