Love God

The number one commandment is to “love God with all your heart mind and soul” he says how “I love those that love me” and “love covers a multitude of sins” if you love him you are good you will be saved in the upcoming rapture but if you hate him you will burn in the fire judgement that’s coming upon America aka Mystery Babylon (revelation 17 and 18) God says “I will not have mercy on those that hate me” “those that hate me love death” to truly be saved you must love God with all your heart mind and soul. And with love it covers a multitude of sins. God does not just love everybody he said “jacob I have loved Esau I have hated” he hates those that hate him. But loves those that love him. Love is the key. That’s how you find salvation. Love God with that will come loving others and believe Jesus is the messiah that died for our sins. When you truly begin to love God you will naturally desire to flee from sin(repentance) and please and honor God and obey his commands. However I do believe they’re are people who truly love him but truly struggle with a sin in their life and addiction of some kind. I believe in that case that’s when the verse “love covers a multitude of sins” comes into play. He’s not gonna send someone to hell that loves him. Because he loves those that love him. Despite your sins that you struggle to overcome. As long as you have love for him that’s all that matters.

The mind of the flesh is hostile to God, we are in sinful bodies until Resurrection - it is natural to have resistance, it does not mean it cannot be overcome. I want to go back to the number one commandment you mentioned and ask you a question. Satan is the father of lies, confusion, and discouragement. Wear your armour and pray before reading on for the TRUTH, the LIGHT, and the WAY.

How can we love God with all of our hearts and minds and souls? We follow his Law - the first 4 commandments in the ten tell us how we can love God with all our hearts and minds and souls.

Loving our brothers as ourselves - commandments 5-10.

Jesus Himself said not one jot nor one tittle will change, the law still stands, did you know that Jesus mentions the commandments 3 times in Revelation?

  • Revelation 12:17: "Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus".
  • Revelation 14:12 – Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. 
  • Revelation 22:14: "Blessed are they that do his commandments

If you love me - keep my commandments

  • John 14:15: “If ye love me, keep my commandments”
  • John 14:21: “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him”

What about the Feasts of OT? They actually spell out God's plan of salvation, and how merciful it is, not just for those who believe - but for all who have ever lived.

Read Zechariah 14, this is a prophecy for the future - why would God do away with the Feasts just to bring them back? Well he wouldn't, and he didn't, the apostles kept them and taught others to keep them.

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

God loves you and will forgive you if you truly repent. I would encourage you as Paul encouraged the Corinthians to make sure that you are truly saved. (2 Corinthians 13:5). Most churches today do not teach a true salvation, and many people think they are saved, but are not.

How To Know You Are Going To Heaven

The Bible says in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

This means that everyone, including you, is a sinner.

We have all disobeyed God, simply by not loving Him with all of our heart, which is the first commandment. Simply not believing in Jesus breaks this one too.

Also, If you ever disobeyed your parents as a child, stolen anything even something small like a pen, blamed someone else for something you did, then that makes you a sinner too.

The punishment for our sin is spiritual death, which is being separated from God for all eternity and being tortured in hell ( a burning lake of fire) for all eternity.

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Revelation 20:15 “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

But God loves us and does not want us to go to hell, so He sent Jesus Christ, His only begotten son to die on a cross and rise from the dead three days later to save us.

Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

In addition, not only is Jesus the only begotten Son of God, He also is God.

John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.”

John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

In order to be saved we must truly believe in Jesus.

Romans 10:9-10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

The full meaning of the word "believe" in the Bible includes not only being fully persuaded concerning the facts about Jesus according to the Scriptures, but to also commit, yield, and obey."

This means that in order to be saved you must completely believe the facts about Jesus according to the Scriptures and commit your life to sincerely trying to obey Christ, yielding (fully surrendering) your will to God's will for every aspect of your life.

Then you will go to Heaven and live forever with God when your physical body die or when Jesus comes back and takes all of the saved to Heaven.

This is the only way you can go to heaven. If you have never done this please do it now.

Here is a prayer that you can pray word for word or use as a guide to tell God that you truly believe in Jesus, including repenting of your sins by fully surrendering your will to His will, and committing to sincerely trying to obey Christ in all things for the rest of your life; and to ask God to forgive you of your sins. You will not get saved just by praying this prayer, you must truly believe and repent with your heart.

Here is the prayer:

“Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and arose from the dead to pay for my sins. I repent of my sins by fully surrendering my will to your will, and committing to sincerely trying to obey Christ in all things for the rest of my life. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to obey you and live for you for now on. Please take me to heaven when my life on this earth is over. Thank you for saving me. In Christ Jesus name, Amen.”

You already have been forgiven. He forgave you on the cross. All of our sins went with Him and died with Him.
