Obedience to HIM and HIS WORD is TRUE LOVE!

1 John 2:4-6 NIV

The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

Believers in Christ who are in obedience to all of God's commands WILL HAVE LOVE!

Holy Spirit of God will manifest this GIFT in the lives of those who WALK as Jesus walked while HE was on earth.

God's PROMISE of ONE who will follow after Christ giving COUNSEL and REVEALING the TRUTHS of HIS Kingdom ALSO DELIVERS POWER to walk as Jesus did!

Holy Spirit, THE SAME POWER THAT RESURRECTED Jesus from the dead, is God's Spirit by which Christ said we MUST WORSHIP by.

In saying, "I know HIM," but THEN DENYING the POWER AND PRESENCE of Holy Spirit, is equal to calling God a liar!

John, the Baptizer told of ONE who would come after him, BAPTIZING Believers with the Spirit of God, Holy Spirit!!!

Jesus is that ONE!

DISOBEDIENCE ONLY PROVES that HIS Spirit is ABSENT!!!

Father, I give YOU all my PRAISE!

YOUR Son, Jesus, I claim as my REDEEMER,

Being reborn in HIS image and likeness,

I can but only OBEY HIM and HIM ALONE!!

Each day is NEW, and I REJOICE

Having YOUR Spirit to GUIDE me,

Into greater LOVE for YOUR TRUTHS!!!
