Consider what one of the greatest challenge we face in life,LOVE, Consider what Jesus taught ,'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.And the second is like it.Love your neighbour as yourself. ( Matthew 22 v 37 - 39 ). Are not these the most challenging words in the Bible,the first one tells us , (and these two verses are commands)that we are to love God with our total being. The words of Jesus to Peter comes to mind,when he said,''Do you love me more than these'',apply that to the first commandment about loving God. How do you feel when it is pointed out from scripture that we are sinners?,do you protest your innocence?,you do not think you are a bad person ,you would not cheat anybody,you are a good husband, father,a good son and daughter,neighbour, etc, but that is not facing up to the question as regards loving God.I put it to you that no one loves God as they should, that is very serious,because it is challenging ,it is saying that you are a sinner.That has serious consequences ,Jesus faced people with what really was first in their lives,when he said these challenging words,'follow Me',money got in the way,religion got in the way,family got in the way,what is getting in your way?.Jesus was truly God and truly man,and when you refuse to follow him ,you are clearly showing, that you do not love God,and that you are a sinner.
