HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT BURDENSOME

1 JN 5:3

Joh 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."

What a wonderful and peaceful feeling to have this promise safely tucked away in your soul. It is also empowering to always foster a strong faith, and exercise that faith daily to keep it strong and nimble.

1Jn 3:22 Whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

"things that are pleasing in His sight ", This is the key to successful prayers. Encouraging the Holy Spirit, that dwells within you, to fashion your prayers to meet and be in harmony the will of our Lord.

Mat 11:30 "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Joh 14:15 "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. Joh 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him."

What is God's law? Once it was the Ten Commandments (still valid in my mind and heart) then was expanded {by man} to 613 commandments. Christ Jesus fulfilled the law and boiled it all down to this simple formula;

Mat 22:37-40 And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' (38) "This is the great and foremost commandment. (39) "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' (40) "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

As Paul teaches us in Romans, It Ain't easy to stay within the lines and always do what one is supposed to do. (my paraphrase)

Rom 7:22-23 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, (23) but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

There is a real and violent battle going on between good and evil. Its in you, its in me and in the heavens and in the hell. Two creatures battling within you, each fighting to the death for the prize. The prize being you and your soul. Which one wins, you ask? GOOD or EVIL ?

THE ONE YOU FEED

THAT IS THE ONE THAT WILL WIN
