“If you love Me, keep My commandments.
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever"— John 14:15-16


If you truely love GOD you won't break HIS law.

IJOBA2:
WHICH COMMANDMENT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SINCE THE OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWy MOST CHRISTIANS ARE CONFUSED I SWEAR

YorubaKinging:
Well, lukewarm like righteousness89 thinks it's okay if you don't keep Gods commandments because God loves you and His grace Is sufficient

He said it's okay not to remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy

Indeed 90percent of Christians don't really know what they are doing

They can't think for themselves

But always say whatever thier false pastors told them

Stephenmoka4:
I know this question is weird, (I am kind of a weird person too): How do one love God, sometimes I ask myself what kind of love do I have for God and I can't tell if it's love, since you mentioned it's not the physical type of love I.e chemical (passions and desire)

SenecaTheYonger:
Yes. What humans call love is actually lust. If you think you love a woman, then you should be able to transfer that same feeling to a man, but it's not possible, because waht we call love is lust. The only true love is obedience.

Kobojunkie:


Jesus Christ gave you about 46 commandments to obey, of which the 2 greatest of the 46 you probably already are aware of.

IJOBA2:
STOP SAYING RUBBISH BRUH, CHRIST DID NOT CHANGE ANY LAW. EVEN THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF SAID THAT THE HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL HIS LAW FULLY COME TO PASS.


SO YOU MEAN THAT A MERE MORTAL JUST LIKE YOU AND I CAN CHANGE THE WORD OF GOD

Kobojunkie:


Christ did not change the law.. instead He is a new law, the New Covenant, that is to make you perfect. That New Covenant comes with a light yoke ( about 46 commandments) and a burden that is easy( your cross/Life).

It also comes complete with blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, an entry requirement (about 7 commands) and a seal(The Spirit of God Himself).

I did not change a single thing of His truth. Simply telling you what you are obviously not aware that Christ is, the New Covenant that was promised -- a complete agreement for each person to choose.

IM A MONOTHEIST BRUH, WHY WOULD CHRIST CURSE A FIG TREE THAT HE DID NOT CREATE

Stephenmoka4:
I usually expect the love man have for God should be a passionate and affectionate love.
The kind of questions I get made me think so;
Do you desire God
How much do you love God
Have you spend 5 minutes with God just for a day.



With questions like this I do expect the kind of love to be craving and desiring.

Kobojunkie:


We can love our ownselves, so we can love as God has callee us to. God commands that we love our neighbor as we love our ownselves.

First, you need to figure out what it means ti love yourself. Then apply that to loving all men and women alile, exactly as you apply it to your self.

There are two aspects of love. In greek , they are distinguished as the "agape" and the "philo". I'll leave out the "eros" love.
Agape is simply love that is principled on utter selflessness/ sacrifice of one's will and devotion only to the will of God and needs(not selfish wants) of another.(1Cor13).
Philo on the other hand is based on pleasure and the enjoyment/joy of satisfaction derived in another, the object of love.

If you're a believer, you should have experienced at least a minute measure of God's pleasurable love(philo) which convinces us of His goodness.
But after that, the thing is, God wants every believer to experience this pleasure to the fullest, having fullness of joy and satisfaction within(1Pet1:8 ). In this "philo" love all desires for sin are expunged and all your desire is renewed for God and His beauty as you find nothing created compares to.
Jesus Christ remains the pattern for how we can enter into fullness of pleasure love. He lived on earth on the principle of selfless love(agape) until His death and after which He entered into fullness of His Father's joy and pleasure. So also we can here on earth experience God's pleasure love of satisfaction if we live selflessly devoted to the will of God.

Stephenmoka4:
Selflessly devoting , I will be honest with you that part is not an easy one. I do get jealous seeing religious people practicing it and get motivated to doing it, once they are out sight - well my materialistic self comes back .
One sided love is a no no for me, I always like it 50-50 or balance. I know the love of God is bigger than anything great emotion of man, which can never be a 50-50, you can't tell me God loves me and I will be still sinning, any idea how that feels.
I can be annoying and sometimes stirring up trouble, I know it's wrong but, I think it's fun a the moment but, I regret later ( I have a sensitive conscience)

What I am trying to say is, the thought of agape love is just beyond my concept of love, I don't understand why someone (God) will love anyone (me example) without seeing flaws, forgiving a continuous sinner (fall, repent, fall, repent again)

Finallydead:

Read my modified post. You can only live out agape when the agape nature of God is in you. You cannot give what you don't have. Whoever does not have agape inside of Him yet is yet to receive God into Him.(Rom5:5, 1Jn4:7,8,12,13,16).

Stephenmoka4:
Nice, can one really love God. I mean not by saying it or doing things in the name of pleasing God, I mean genuine love like cravings, burning passions and desire. I don't know, like the love and desire for money is strong, but, I am really referring to a limitless love that is stronger than that of man to money.

Noel19:


The only way you can truly love God is to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour and accept that he died on the cross just to set you free from the claws of eternal damnation.

That my friend is how you can truly love God.
