Deu 11:13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
To Love God above all else, like Abraham. 1)Gen 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. KJV
Will you love him more than you love your own flesh?
Notice that the reward of keeping HIS commandments is HIS love, HIS presence. 2)Joh 14:21 Those who really love me are the ones who not only know my commands but also obey them. My Father will love such people, and I will love them. I will make myself known to them.” ERV
Now here is the meat, deny yourself out of Love for each other. 3)Joh 15:10 I have obeyed my Father’s commands, and he continues to love me. In the same way, if you obey my commands, I will continue to love you.
Joh 15:11 I have told you these things so that you can have the true happiness that I have. I want you to be completely happy.
Joh 15:12 This is what I command you: Love each other as I have loved you.
Joh 15:13 The greatest love people can show is to die for their friends.
Joh 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I tell you to do.
ERV
Again, This is his commandment. 4)Joh 15:17 This is my command: Love each other. ERV
Abba Daddy,
We Thank You And Praise You For Laying Out The Pattern.
You Gave Up Jesus, So We Might Be Saved, And The Fruit Increase.
So We Must (Be Willing To) Give Up What We Love To Be With You,
So Others Might Be Saved, And The Fruit Increase.
Abba Father, I Love You More Than Anything In This World,
Jesus, My Lord, Brother And Friend, I Love You More Than Anything In This World.
Have Your Way LORD, Have Your Way Lord.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
