Bible Note: Dear John: I think Robert misspoke a little bit. He did not mean to say that keeping those two commandments would get us into heaven. Did you Robert? Let's agree that we could not keep the commandments, no matter how God broke them down and spelled them out for us. So Jesus came and died and paid for our sins. We repented and trusted in him, so we are saved. We are on our way to heaven. Now, what happens after that? The love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts. We are able to love God. We are able to love our brothers. Let us do it, not in order to be saved, but because we are saved. Let us love him because he first loved us. And beloved, let us love one another. We can do it. It is a little child who needs to be told, "Don't hit your brother", "Don't push", "Hold his hand". A mature person hears "Love one another" and that's enough. Now, a mature brother has immature brothers and that makes the job harder. But we can do it. |
