Bible Question:
Hi Aixen7z4, LOVE is a very very powerful word, if not the most powerful word in the dictionary.lOVE encompasses everything that is spiritually, legally and morally good. When there is love in our hearts, minds and souls our actions respond to the goodness and dictates of our hearts.When there is love ,anger and hatred-the greatest enemies of mankind-are absent and anything that opposes to love will disappear. Having expounded the power of love, I now refer to your recent response and give an excerpt of the part on which I wish to comment. You said "What if we abolished all the old commandments and just kept two "love God" and "Love one another" Would you be in favour of that? That would keep us killing and stealing obviously, but also from adultery and envy" With spiritual love in our hearts the question of whether we are in favour of abolishing the old commandments does not arise and kept two i.e. 1.Love God. 2. Love one another. A big yes to these. If we comply with just these two commandments and live our lives accordingly,we shall be on good ground and when the time comes we shall be on our way to our desired final destination--Heaven With love in Christ.

Bible Answer: "If we comply with just these two commandments and live our lives accordingly,we shall be on good ground and when the time comes we shall be on our way to our desired final destination--Heaven" Dear FytRobert, Ah, if only we could our dear Lord would not have to had to suffer as He did in our place. Who among us so loves God or his brothers that he could be said to be in perfect compliance to the law of God? No my friend, the "good ground" upon which we must rely is that which surrounds Calvary. Rom 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. Gal 3:24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. John |
