WHAT'S THE SECRET?
How can we love our God who is millions of miles away from us and not love our wives/husbands who are just a couple feet away from us? What is the secret?
`And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This [is] the first commandment. "And the second, like [it, is] this: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30-31. People say that Jesus makes the Law sound so simple to follow. Why? Because Jesus has very little experience in the world, unlike God the Father. That's why Jesus sounds so "nice". Let’s hear what people say about God the Father after He gave His Ten Commandments on Mt Sinai. “Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw [it], they trembled and stood afar off. Then they said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die." Exodus 20:18-19. People are afraid of God the Father. People fear God the Father. No Christian is afraid of God the Father. No Christian fear Jesus either, none! So, what is the secret? The secret must start with the fear of the Lord. When we fear the Lord, we will do what He commands us to do. When we do what He commands us to do, we will love our neighbors as ourselves.
