1 John 5:3 KJV

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

What are commandments is what some get cloudy.

Amen

That's the real test if people are saved or just playing church.

If we obey His commandments, we should have the love of God shed abroad
in our heart, BY THE HOLY GHOST! Rom.5:5 GOD IS LOVE.
Also if we do not love our brother who we have seen, how can we say we love
GOD who we have not seen. If we do not have the HOLY GHOST, how
can we say we love, really love our brother and sister. IF HIS LOVE is shed
abroad in our hearts by the HOLY GHOST, we should love everybody. Doesn't
mean we agree, but we should love. We are commanded to love our enemies.
We can love as GOD loved, by His Spirit that lives in us.
My late pastor used to teach, "If you can't love your spouse as you should,
love them as an enemy! God commanded us to love our enemies. Sobering,
isn't it!

BROTHER. that's the best truth I have seen on here in a long time. I would to Jesus that all would receive Him and then the age of the apostles would return in power and demonstration of that power. Truth would be in the eyes of the believers. What a rock to build on!
