Subject:
- Our life on this earth is our training period where we learn to obey God so that we can dwell with Him for evermore in that perfect peace that He promises after we die and therefore finally are able to put off this cursed flesh and receive that new incorruptible body with which we serve Him for eternity.
- What are we being trained to do? To love God, which is manifested by our obedience to His commandments. All of the law and the prophets boil down to two commandments.
- Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul and mind.
- Love thy neighbor as thyself.
- In order to understand what that means, you need to know God’s Word. And you will not be able to walk it out, unless you treasure God’s Word above all else and choose to conform yourself unto what He says rather than what you think.
- When you know and keep God’s Word, then He will send you the Comforter (i.e. His Holy Spirit) and He and His Father will make their abode with you and you can become one with Him – walking in like power and authority.
