When God Says …
“These things I command you, that ye love one another.” (John 15:17 KJV).
This command is addressed to the eleven apostles, and to us-true believers that follow. As we do believe, being saved by grace and born again in Christ Jesus, we are commanded to love one another. This is not a command for the world at large nor for the religious people then that rejected Him. This is not a command for followers of religions of this day who use the name of Jesus as label for their enterprises promoting non-Biblical doctrines and precepts borrowed from the pagan world. They are aliens to this command. They hated God's Word (John 17:14).
This is given to us who recognize that we are the beloved of the Lord Jesus Christ. He loved us first (1 John 4:19). As children of God in Christ, we are reminded to ... “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.” (1 John 3:1-3 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!

When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.
