Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”[John 14:21]
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.[John 14:15]
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. ‘The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these.[Mark 12; 30-31]
Jesus says that if we love him, we will keep his commandments. So, keeping the commandments and loving our neighbor as ourselves is how we show or express our love for Jesus.
Jesus isn’t looking for mere lip service but for his followers to embody and carry into practice the principles of his teachings. He’s looking for his followers to be to the world what he is to us.
Being a Disciple of Christ means to follow his example, walking in his footsteps. It means to submit our will to do God’s will just as he is perfectly submitting his will to do God’s will.
Jesus is in complete submission to the Father, and he desires us to be also. He did not come to make us worshippers of himself but for us to become what he is.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.[Philippians 2:5 ]
What is called Christianity, is not the true teachings of Christ, but a religion created by the enemies of Christ.
Jesus Teachings was not Christianity, it was freedom, justice, and equality.
“Jesus serves as an example that a human being born of a woman could master the forces of the universe,” The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Final Call News, December 21, 2021
Our potential is much greater than what we think. We think very little of ourselves regarding our true potential. God created us in His own Image after His own likeness.
He created us to be like Himself, but we have been reduced to nothing by a world that does not reflect God.
For us to overcome the world we must take on God’s coloring by following the example of Christ and completely submitting our will to do the will of God.
If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.[Mark 8:34]
They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.[Titus 1:16]
