Bible Note: AO (I'm at work and the reason I can be on the PC at work is a long story..LOL) But Amen to your discourse above, that is true. I also love to look at Eph. 1:15 "For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints" and I've heard from several teachers, that in this verse we can see that the Ephesians love the Lord, because they love the saints. I have seen this with the fellowship I attend now. It is not enough to say that "I love the Lord", but you must love the saints and sinners also. So, I totally agree. Also, Jesus says in Jn 14:15 "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments", therein is the true test of our words, for of our words James says in James 3:8 "But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;" So, I definitely agree that the fruits of the Spirit will be manifest and "back-up" the statement "I love God." hidden in Christ, Lissa P.S. God has wonderfully blessed you with a love for His Word. Praise God that you have the promise of walking the "smooth path." |
