Some people say I am always quoting from the Old Testament. You are old fashioned. Speak to us for the New Testament. They tell me, “Jesus spoke to us about love. He said to love your neighbour. It’s not loving your neighbour if you condemn him to hell if he isn’t obeying the commandments.”

We have got mixed up about love. Jesus said Greater love has no man but he lays down his life for another. John 15 v 13. Making one feel good, don’t say anything to upset anyone isn’t what Jesus meant. He said he came to bring division. Even a household will be divided against itself.  Jesus is our example.  He will never ask us to do anything he has not already done.  He gave his life, he died on the cross for us.  He served his disciples while he was alive.

Well I was reading from the New Testament this morning. Here is what I read.

““Dear friends, don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell. Yes, he’s the one to fear.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:4-5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We are not living just for this life. There is life after death. Jesus came to tell us about the Father God who gives eternal life in heaven if we believe in him and obey him. If we don’t believe in Jesus we are condemned to hell. I choose to live on the earth believing in Jesus and his Father and obeying him. I have the promise of going to heaven when I die.

Please take this opportunity to believe in Jesus and follow him.  You will have eternal life in heaven as you remain in Jesus.
