“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. John‬ ‭14‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Wisdom

The 10 commandments that God gave to His people Israel are something all believers everywhere should keep. Keeping means living by them. There are His rules for us while we are here on this earth. The commandments teach us how to love God and how to love our neighbors. The first 4 commandments show us how to love Him. The last 6 show us how to love each other and that they are not a burden. As it says in John if we have them and keep them He will love us. Not only will He love us, but He will also manifest Himself to us.

He will live in us by the power of the Holy Spirit. We will become set apart children of His. It is by grace we have all been saved as believers, through the faith that we have in Him. Now for us to continue in Him, we must love Him and do as He says. Forsake our way of living life, because we understand the way we used to live life was leading us to death. We tried our way and we did not succeed. Now it’s time to live life His way, by following His rules, and His commands. He guarantees us all that follow Him, everlasting life. He is the right way, He is the truth in this world, and He is the only one that can give eternal life. I pray we all show our Heavenly Father, and Jesus our Lord and Savior, how much we love them by keeping the commandments. So we can all dwell with them forever. Amen.
