GROW IN THE VINE

" a time to every purpose" Eccl3:1

I think that the people who cling to the “two new commandments” fail to research the context and miss how Jesus explained that whole “whole” law hangs on these two because if we love God with all our heart mind and soul we will obey Him, Jesus said this. And when we love others as we love ourselves we will not do harm to them, so all the commandments are covered by those two - proving that they all matter. In the sermon on the mount Jesus teaches even more strict than the law teaches because He is aiming at the heart. They miss that. They also miss the fact that keeping His commands - His Word - is the actual fruit of salvation and proof of the Holy Spirit living in us empowering us to do what we could not have done in our flesh. Basically they fail to learn the Word of God the way they should. And it’s sad because He has made it so very available, with so many tools to dig deep and really understand and study it - and 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 10-12 makes it clear that it is the love of truth that can save us from deception. People just assume that they know what is in the whole Bible because they assume that God is like us so they live according to that God. They end up following a false Jesus. It’s very heartbreaking to be called legalistic for simply believing what the Bible says and living by it. Being told that no one is perfect, when I know first hand how imperfect we are without His power inside of us. Time is running short and if they do not wake up it can be too late. Now there are Ai videos of preachers teaching another gospel and if they don’t know the Word for themselves they will believe the lie. The lie that Jesus warned us was coming that was so powerful, that if it were possible would deceive even His chosen ones. We have to keep sharing the truth and praying they will listen!!!
