Page 923 … Your own personal Jesus

“Jesus wants a relationship with us all personally, and not for us to be religious.”

Amen to that, Brother Dan!!!!!  Now please start walking that talk – by abandoning the condemnatorily religious non-way of Leviticus and following The Way of Christ instead!

 

“‘The days are surely coming’, says the Lord, ‘when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel … not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors … And this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days:  I will put my laws in their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach one another or say to each other, “Know the Lord”, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. And I will be merciful towards their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.’  In speaking of ‘a new covenant’, He has made the first one obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.” ~ Hebrews 8:8-13

 

A new commandment I give to you: that you Love one another.  Just as I have Loved, so you also are to Love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples:  when you show Love for one another … Be perfect [in LOVE] therefore, just as [the LOVE] of your Father in Heaven is perfect … There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casts out fear.  For fear has to do with punishment and whoever fears has not reached perfection in Love … Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get … Show mercy to others, just as your heavenly Father shows them mercy.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35 + Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18 + Matthew 7:1-2 + Luke 6.36)
