Love and obedience must walk together.

in #steemchurch6 years ago (edited)

Dear Community and Blessed of SteemChurch! Peace.

There is no love without obedience, in the same way that faith is dead if it is not accompanied by good works (James 2:17).

So also faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
Santiago 2:17

Martin Luther (father of Protestantism) to meet this text of Santiago, failed to fit into their newly formed theology. He suggested that the book of James be removed from the New Testament, calling it "litter epistle." Maltero did not know that the word Faith, in Hebrew, is (enuná), which also means OBEDIENCE, or FIDELITY.

In this way, it is impossible to obey God without expressing this obedience through fruits, that is, good works. Many believe that by confessing Jesus in public, and repeating the pastor's prayer, they inherit UNCONDITIONAL salvation. But this is not the principle of the Scriptures, muc

Sort:  

"SEEK TO KNOW GOD MORE," and you will find yourself obeying it for love. Not only will your love become more complete and deeper, but it will become sweeter as the years go by. "

Amen! From the knowledge of God flow all the treasures of wisdom to act as God Manda. Good comment @sc-v

Thank you very much friend @ emiliocabrera your advice make us reflect and always keep in mind many truths that are sometimes hidden, totally that part of love is obedience and bear positive fruit that comes to make the consequences of the love you give.

Hello brother @emiliocabrera! God bless you for that wisdom, I begin to read and my spirit rejoices for the word of God. Love and obedience should always walk together. Excellent

That's right, brother. When we love, we obey. But when there is disobedience, the lack of love is demonstrated. and without love it is difficult to please God. Because In the word It is reflected that of all the greater is love. So let's try to be obedient to the commandments and the word of God and we will be demonstrating our love for the Lord.

Yes, for love of God we obey his commandments and by obeying we demonstrate obedience. Thanks for the good comment @blessed-girl

Hi @ emiliocabrera always so assertive when talking about the will of God; Love is a feeling that moves all the Lord's commandments. That is why it is the first of the commandments "To love God above all things" if we understand the strength of love we can be obedient and fulfill all we need to be in the way of God and await his arrival.

"The strength of love" is a key word that you mentioned dear @nashilda17, that force urges us to love and obey God.

Brother Emilio, I liked knowing about that. Personally the free James I like very much, I would like to know your opinion about that issue that raised that Mr. Martin, do you think that James book should be removed ??? Greetings.

Hi, Brother Ruben! At first Martin Luther raised that crazy idea for how recently he was converted, and that book hit his theology, the one he had been taught at home. Other theologians affirm that James is legalistic, nevertheless, this book was recognized within the canonical books and is well considered like divine inspiration, so that it would be badly to eliminate it. Martin later recognized him as canonical after discovering his spiritual wealth.

Thanks for the question brother, I hope my explanation is clear. regards

If very clear and without a doubt I realize how much you know about the subject, Thanks Emilio

Good question! good answer! Every day I learn something new.
