REFLECTION

REFLECTION:

GOD CANNOT BE CONFINED BY ANY RELIGION, NATION, COUNTRY, NATIONALITY, OR ANY DIVISION THAT HUMANITY HAS PLACED ON ONE ANOTHER.

GOD IS LOVE.

LOVE SHOULD NOT CREATE DIVISIONS WITH EACH OTHER BUT UNITY.

OPPOSITE TO LOVE IS HATE AND ANGER, WHICH HAS CAUSED SO MUCH DIVISIONS IN THIS WORLD.

LIFE IN OUR WORLD IS DIFFICULT, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE RIGHTEOUS IN OUR WORLD.

THERE ARE GREAT TEMPTATIONS AND OCCASIONS OF SINS IN THIS WORLD THAT WE CANNOT BE RIGHTEOUS BY OUR OWN MEANS.

WE REALLY NEED THE HELP OF GOD IN ORDER TO HAVE A HEART THAT LOVES.

WITHOUT GOD AT THE CENTER OF OUR BEING, 

DOING GOOD IS ALMOST AN IMPOSSIBILITY.

IN THE SCRIPTURES, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID:

Mark 10:18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. 

"No one is good--except God alone.

THEREFORE, EVERY GOODNESS COMES FROM GOD.

APART FROM GOD, WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING GOOD.

Matthew 19:17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?"

 Jesus replied.

"There is only One who is good. 

If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."

TO ENTER THE LIFE WITH GOD, WE MUST OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS.

WHAT ARE THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD?

THERE ARE MANY THAT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FOLLOW ALL OF THEM.

THEREFORE, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SIMPLIFIED ALL THE COMMANDMENTS INTO THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS:

Luke 10:27 He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

AND THE CENTRAL COMMANDMENT OF GOD IS LOVE.

1 John 4:12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

LOVING ONE ANOTHER IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE COMMANDMENTS.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE.
