John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.(KJV)
A religious man will tell you that for him he obeys the Ten commandments (Exodus 20)
He thinks that now he is righteous before God.
Paul said concerning the law , he was blameless.
As in Paul obeyed all those commandments but he considered it rubbish (Philippians 3 you can read the whole chapter)
Philippians 3:9
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:(KJV)
Now in the new testament , God manifests in Flesh (Jesus Christ) and breaks the 10 commandments into two .
Luke 10:27
1.Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind;
2.and thy neighbor as thyself.(KJV)
Trust me , if you "love" God will all your heart, soul , strength and mind , you can not worship any other idol.
If you love your neighbor as you love your self, you can not kill them or steal from them.
Do you see how Jesus simplifies things for us but we just want to complicate them?
He (Jesus) further goes ahead and breaks down the two commandments into one, saying:
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another"
As members of the body of Christ, it is our nature to love.
It is not a hobby, it is a lifestyle.
If we just humble ourselves and get to the place of Loving one another, there won't be cases like divorce, envy , fornication , adultery , murder , witchcraft , etc etc. WHY?
Because if i love you as i love myself, i wouldn't do to you something that would hurt you because LOVE cares more for others than self (1Corinthians13:4 MSG)
Have a lovely day!
