Subject: Seeking God |
Bible Note: Dear Nicko, I agree with you that "everything else is dependent upon loving God and ONE of the ways we show this is by loving others (Matt 25:35-40)" But you cannot demean other ways such as devotions, prayer, baptism, tithing...(examples as you cited) being less important. Without devotions, prayer, etc. (I am glad that you did not skip studying the Bible) how can we abide in the True Vine? Not abiding in the True Vine, how can we do anything - needless to say loving others. (John 15:1-8) Jesus gives the commandments in sequence as you know: FIRST - to love our God with all our HEARTS, MINDS, STRENGTHS. Shalom Azure |
