Any person in the Christian circle will tell you the main commandment to follow is love. They also have a lovely way of behaving among themselves and exhibit their love for each other. But do all of us really know what our Lord God is expecting from us in showing love? We concentrate on love among brothers and sisters overall and that too we are not able to maintain properly. But the Lord Jesus divided the law in 2 segments and in that the first and great commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind! Are we doing that, who call ourselves Christians? Are you thinking of God and love Him so much, that you forget about yourself, to please Him at all times?! Let God be your First Love and no one else take that place, including you. If your life revolves around Him, then every other area of your life will align in place without much difficulty.

“He Who Is Not With Me Is Against Me & He Who Does Not Gather With Me Scatters Abroad” – JESUS
Never heard of this verse and you are surprised! This is how serious Jesus was about His Commandments, His teachings. If we do not know and if we think what Jesus said is impossible to follow and settle down not to bother about the details, then we are in trouble. Beware, Jesus was not joking when He preached and said the New Commandments which He created and proclaimed higher and above the Ten Commandments. We are supposed to know everything and follow diligently by the power of the Holy Spirit He has imparted on those who ask,seek,knock to receive for sure and to use mightily. Yes if you are not doing anything for the Lord or even thinking in that area, then you are against Him and you scatter.
There Is One God & One Mediator Christ Jesus
Those days before Christ Jesus came, who is now the only Mediator between God and men, priests were appointed who could do the ritual of giving the blood of goats and sheep for the covering of people’s sin. But now Jesus’ precious Blood was shed and He gave Himself a ransom for all to remove the sins of mankind. Blood of the animals only covered the sins but Jesus’ Blood removed the sins. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all men to be saved and knew this truth. So we should not approach God through any other medium of rituals or person like Mother Mary or other devotees.
The Unfading Crowns Of Heaven To Take From Earth
There is general saying among people, even among Christians that we can take nothing to heaven from earth, so do not bother about doing anything great here on earth. But New Testament Bible talks about Crowns of different kinds to receive, which are eternal and will not fade away even after life is over in this world, but for eternity which God will give to those who do their level best to achieve. Let us forget the worldly achievements and go for rewards in eternity, which are forever and ever.
The Laws Of The New Covenant By The Holy Spirit
Church was created by the power of the Holy Spirit coming on the disciples of Jesus Christ, 10 days after His ascension back to the Heaven on the Pentecost Day. Before going to the Cross Jesus had Holy Communion with His disciples saying that He is making a New Covenant in His blood. So we are definitely not in the Old Covenant any more, so new set of laws apply. They are — ‘The Law of the Spirit of life in Christ’ ( Romans 8:1-2)’, ‘The Royal Law of Love’ (1 John 4:9-11)(James 2:8-9), ‘The Perfect Law of Liberty’ (James 1:25), ‘The Law of Faith’ (Romans 3:27)and “The Law of Christ” (Galatians 6:1-5). These are the new covenant laws that God has written in our hearts and minds to follow diligently.
Our Citizenship Is In Heaven & We Eagerly Await Saviour Lord Jesus
Many stopped living a spiritual life and started completely striving and struggling to live earthly life, because of the situations they are in turned their attention away. Word of God is saying our citizenship is in heaven and so we should copy and live the life of the saints in the New Testament as Paul is urging us to follow him. He also mentions with tears that many live as enemies of the cross of Christ, setting their minds on earthly things which leads to destruction. Let our minds set on heaven from where our Lord and Saviour Jesus is going to come for us and to transform our mortal bodies into a glorious body like Him! Hallelujah!!
Be Spiritual People In Christ, Be Not Mere Humans
We, who are born again, we are now born of the Spirit, so we are spirit being. So we are to follow all the spiritual laws to have a victorious life. This is what Jesus Christ came to give us so that we can be like Him, like God, and we can communicate properly in the spirit. Paul also was teaching the same asking the followers to stop being worldly minded and start being spiritually minded. We are not mere human beings in God’s sight we are supernatural spiritual beings. When we believe right we will live right.
If The Son, Jesus Sets You Free, You Are Free Indeed
People are in addictions and are suffering or in some habits even though look harmless, but they are controlled by them and are slaves to these sins. They try their best on their own, but fail miserably and have no help from anyone. But the word of God says, if the Son, Jesus set them free, they are free indeed. No medicines or therapy can set you free, only your faith in the Son of God can surely set you free.
“Be Of Good Cheer, I Have Overcome The World” – JESUS
Among the Christians who go through many trials and tribulations quote the words Jesus said in John 16:33 saying, see even our Lord told us there will be difficult times, and stop with that. But the verse did not complete with that, whereas Jesus continued saying, be of good cheer, because He had overcome the world. By being cheerful you too overcome with Him and miracles happen and you are supposed to come out victoriously every time. Just going through the troubles till the end of your lifetime will be of no use to anybody. The Lord is pleased only with those who overcome and miracles happen by His power, so that His Father’s name be glorified.
Faith Is From The Heart, Not By Reasoning In The Brain
Many say that they have faith in the Word of God, but there will be no works of God done by them; because they reason in their mind using their brain and they think they have faith. But the true faith develops from the heart and that faith is confessed with the mouth, which produces good works and miracles. We all in our walk with the Lord should be very sure whether we have got that kind of faith. ”For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.“ James 2:26 (NKJV) We come to know if we have tremendous faith, is by the miraculous works we could do.
