"Assurance of salvation and Jesus calls us to love one another."*** Assurance of salvation. *** "And what is it that God has said? That He has given us eternal life and that this life is in His Son. So whoever has God's Son has life; whoever does not have His Son does not have life. I have written this to you who believe in the Son of God so you may know you have eternal life." 1 John 5:11-13 *** "Jesus calls us to love one another."*** "And so I am giving you a new commandment to you now--- love each other as I have loved you. Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples." John 13:34-35 The very first thing God calls us to have is assurance of our salvation, and the second is His new commandment. We are instructed to love one another just as He first loved us. It is has the well proven tract record of proving to the world around us; that we are indeed His genuine disciples. We are unable to love one another, without first believing in Bible verses such as the most popular salvation verse of John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. The Bible points us to particular scripture verses, but it is The third person of the Holy Trinity who enters into our hearts upon receiving God's free gift of everlasting life. Therefore He enables us to be able to love each other, as He has first loved us. We else could take angry people at the world and introduce them to first love him, and than to love our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, our very own personal Savior? Who could take people filled with all vile sinful thoughts, words and deeds, and reform them? Yes, we accept Him as our Savior and our Redeemer. But we must also accept Him as the Lord of our lives! "Not (our) will, but Thy will be done. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heavens" excerpt from the Lord's prayer. An essential part of doing God's will is to put away the old man or the old woman of our sinful natures. When we do do so, with His help, we become new creations in Jesus Christ our Lord. We no longer lie awake nights planning vengeful acts of hostility and revenge! Is it possible for our old natures to again rule and reign over us? Yes, it is indeed possible! But only if we give it permission to do so! Can we be forgiven? Yes, with His help! Love in Christ Jesus! Roxanne Lea Dubarry Roxy Lea 1954 November 03, 2020
