SO YOU SAY YOU LOVE JESUS; YOU SAY YOU READ THE BIBLE; OKAY GOOD, BUT HERE IS WHAT REAL LOVE TOWARDS JESUS IS ALL ABOUT……

Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink? 38. When did we see you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you 39. Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and came unto you? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.

Acts 21:13. I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

THERE ARE NOT DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF SCRIPTURES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT ABOUT WHAT IT IS TO LOVE CHRIST JESUS, FOR CHRIST JESUS IS ONE WITH THE FATHER. YOU CAN NOT LOVE ONE AND NOT LOVE THE OTHER. THE FATHER AND THE SON ARE ONE IN LOVE AND ALL THINGS.
HENCE THE SCRIPTURES CONCERNING LOVE TO THE FATHER, MUST BE APPLIED TO THE SON ALSO. JESUS TAUGHT WHAT THE FATHER COMMISSIONED HIM TO TEACH.
PHILIP ASKED JESUS TO SHOW THEM THE FATHER; JESUS REPLIED:
“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG WITH YOU, AND YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN ME, PHILIP? HE THAT HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER; SO WHY DO YOU SAY, SHOW US THE FATHER? DO YOU NOT BELIEVE I AM IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IN ME? THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, I SPEAK NOT OF MYSELF, BUT THE FATHER THAT DWELLS IN ME HE DOES THE WORK” (JOHN 14:8-10).
IT WAS PROPHESIED THAT “HE” THE MESSIAH WOULD COME AND MAGNIFY THE LAW - NOT DIMINISH IT [ISA. 42:21]. READING MATTHEW 5, 6, 7. PROVES THAT INDEED IT WAS SO.
NONE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE EVER ABOLISHED OR CHANGED. JESUS UPHELP EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, INCLUDING THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT, AND SHOWED IN MANY WAYS HOW TO OBSERVE IT.
SO AGAIN READING THE SCRIPTURES ON HOW TO LOVE GOD, APPLIES ALSO TO LOVING JESUS, FOR AS JESUS SAID, “I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.”
