“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.” JOHN 3:16.

A CALL TO LOVE
In the beginning God created a perfect world, full of love and sinless,
man had a face to face communion with his Creator. Animals loved
each other and gazed together. There was great love amongst mankind,
and love and peace prevailed, everything was just perfect as it was
from the Creators hand. Mankind lived healthy and wealthy both
physical and spiritual, and there was no death. Not until the fall of
Lucifer, the author of sin and death, he who despise the divne law of
God, that everything turned upside down. We now live in the world of
rebellion, defiance, lawlessness, where innocent people die every day.
Because iniquity abound, the love of many has waxed cold, Love in
mankind has been lost because of sin. People kill each other, family
members no longer love and care for each other. Sin has prevailed in
this world since the fall of Lucifer. Satan has broken heaven laws and
now wants all mankind to defile God by removing love from the hearts
of men and replace it with hatred towards God's law of love. But will he
succeed? Satan has tried every means to get God's people to break the
divine law through worship of other gods, through the leadership of
unholy kings, through multitudes of liars and deceptions. Satan's most
successful method to cause God's people break the divine law is
imfortrating our belief system to convince us that we no longer need to
keep God's divine law. Many Christians profess a higher regard for God
and His word, yet they are unaware some beliefs leads them into
misinterpretations of God's word.
The concept, 'to love' when misunderstood leads many Christians to
believe there's no need to keep the Ten Commandments. Many
Christians say they love God and their neighbours, yet they are

unaware of the requirements needed to show that love which is in
them. The most quoted scripture about 'to love' in the bible is Mark
12:29-31, which says, "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The
Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment. And the second is like,
namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. There is none other
commandment greater than these"
In Mark 12:30 God calls or commands us
to love Him completely, He gives us the duty to love Him. This
commandment or duty to love God is not a new commandment, it has
been known by the Israelites in the old testament, as it is evident in
Deuteronomy 6:5 "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." So this concept 'to
love' is not only in the New Testament but also in the Old Testament.
But how do we show our love for God? What do the scriptures say?
John 14:15, 21 "If ye love me, keep my commandments. 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." According to these two verses, it's evident and
of so importance to keep God's commandments in order to show the
love that we have for Him. Therefore the relationship between God and
His children is manifested by keeping the commandments. The bible
has more to say about love. 2John 1:4-6 "I rejoiced greatly that I found of
thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from

the Father. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new
commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that
we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his
commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from
the beginning, ye should walk in it."
Our relationship with God is made evident by keeping His
commandments.1John 2:3, 4 "And hereby we do know that we know him,
if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not
his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." Those who
profess to know Jesus or follow him yet denying the divine law of God
are liars, and there is no truth in them, and they’ll lead many to
destruction because they are the devil’s agencies. He who loves God
cannot:
 Worship other gods before God our creator.
 Make unto themselves any graven images.
 Take the name of the Lord God in vain.
 Break the Sabbath day, but to keep it holy in remembrance that
God is our creator.
In Mark 12:31 another interesting commandment is given, which is to
'love our neighbours as oneself.' Now not only does God commands us
'to love' our neighbours, but also 'to love' our enemies. read Matthew
5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you;" This commandment is also in the old testament,
Leviticus 19:18 "Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the
children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am
the LORD." So even in the Old Testament people were aware of this
commandment and they obeyed by keeping the ten commandments of

God. In this memory text of Mark 12:31, God calls or gives us another
duty, 'to love our neighbours and enemies.'
But how do we show our love to one another as neighbours and to
our enemies? What does the bible say? Romans 13:8-10, "Owe no man
any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled
the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and
if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this
saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no
ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."Galatians
5:14 "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself." To fulfill means to keep, or perform. See
(James 2:8.) When He came to be baptized by John the Baptist, He said,
“Thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.” Matthew 3:15. To fulfill
the law is to obey it perfectly.
Paul in Romans 13 says that 'love worketh no ill (harm) to his
neighbour.' Therefore he who loves his neighbour cannot do evil to
them. He cannot:
 kill his neighbour,
 Commit adultery with someone's(neighbour's) wife or husband,
 steal anything which belongs to his neighbour,
 Bear false witness against his neighbour,
 Covet his neighbour's house; properties or wife/husband.
1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue;
but in deed and in truth." Children whom their hearts are filled with
God's love shall:
 Honor their father and mother, in deed and in truth.

We have seen how the whole 'law is fulfilled (achieved) in one word,
even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.' This is the fulfilling
of the Ten Commandments. So the Ten Commandments are a
manifestation in people who truly love their neighbours and God. The
commandments lead us to the love of God and the love of God leads us
to keep His commandments. We cannot keep the Ten Commandments
if love is not in us; love drives us to keep the commandments.
How many commandments are we supposed to keep?
James 2:8-11 "If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: But if ye have respect to
persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For
whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is
guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.
Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a
transgressor of the law." So we are supposed to keep all the Ten
Commandments if we truly love our neighbours and God. If we break
one of them, we become transgressors of the law; we sin against our
God, for sin is the transgression of the law. 1John 3:4 "Whosoever
committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of
the law." The law reveals sin to us and directs us to walk in the light and
love of our God. Romans 7:7 "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God
forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust,
except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." We wouldn't have known
that committing adultery, stealing, covetousness, worshipping other
gods, bearing false witness against someone, not obeying parents in
truth, breaking the seventh day Sabbath, killing, making graven images
unto ourselves, and taking the name of God in vain, is sin, except the
law had said so.

Someone may ask; wasn't the seventh day Sabbath abolished on the
cross?
What do the scriptures say? Matthew 5:17-19 "Think not that I am
come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever
therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach
men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven." These words were spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ
who was crucified on the cross. Simple and crystal clear, it was never
Jesus's mission to come and destroy the law, but to fulfill the law and
prophecies as prophesied about Him by the prophets in the Old
Testament. To fulfill means to keep, or perform. See (James 2:8.) When
He came to be baptized by John the Baptist, He said, “Thus it becometh
us to fulfil all righteousness.” Matthew 3:15. To fulfill the law is to obey
it perfectly. To those who claim that He came to set aside the law and
the seventh day Sabbath, He says, “Think not that I am come to destroy
the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Matthew
5:17. The seventh day Sabbath can never be changed; for Christ said,
“Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from
the law, till all be fulfilled.” Matthew 5:18.
So Jesus did not destroy the seventh day Sabbath but established it and
corrected the misconceptions which the Pharisees and scribes had
about it. Isaiah prophesied of Christ, “He will magnify the law, and make
it honorable.” Isaiah 42:21. To magnify is to make larger, to raise to a
higher position. Jesus Christ magnified the seventh day Sabbath, as it is
part of the law.

Do we have any evidence that Jesus Christ obeyed the fourth
commandment?
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." Exodus 20:8. Luke 4:16
"And he (Jesus Christ) came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up:
and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,
and stood up for to read." It was Jesus's custom to go into the
synagogues (place of worship) on every seventh day Sabbath to
worship. A custom is the way a person always behaves; a habit or
practice. Luke 6:5, 6 "And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord
also of the sabbath. And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he
entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right
hand was withered." It’s plain from the word of God itself that Jesus
Christ kept the Sabbath day holy as commanded. Therefore with Jesus
Christ the seventh day Sabbath still stands. He kept it for Him to abide
in His Father's love; we also have to keep it for us to abide in Jesus's
love. John15:10 "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
What about Paul? Did he keep the Sabbath commandment?
Acts 18:1-4 "After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to
Corinth; And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately
come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had
commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and came unto them. And
because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by
their occupation they were tentmakers. And he reasoned in the synagogue
every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks." Paul kept the
seventh day Sabbath and preached into the synagogues every Sabbath;
he imitated the character and customs of Jesus. Acts 17:1, 2 "Now when

they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to
Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: And Paul, as his manner
was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of
the scriptures," Just like Jesus, it was also Paul's manner or custom to go
into the synagogues every Sabbath to worship his Creator. It's much
clear and evident that Paul kept the seventh day Sabbath, but not only
Paul, also all that believed Jesus and His teachings. Luke 23:54, 56 "And
that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. And they returned,
and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according
to the commandment." If we are a people waiting for the second advent
of our savior, we need to have His character and be able to stand with
boldness in His judgments. Therefore, we are to keep the seventh day
Sabbath and the whole law if we love and ought to follow Jesus and His
teachings.
To what extent do we need to love our neighbours?
John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends." Jesus Christ laid down His life for us so that we can
pass from death unto life. This is inexplicable love that Jesus has for
man, He left the glory of heaven and took himself the nature of
mankind and manifested himself to man. It was love that brought Him
down to save us from the bondage of our sinful nature. He who never
sinned had to become a sinner in order to save sinners. Throughout
history, we have seen the shedding of the blood of the saints, apostles,
the martyrs, and reformers for holding the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
They suffered for preaching the gospel of love, some of them where
crucified, burnt, and some fed to the wild beasts. All this was because
of the love that they had towards God and their brothers, sisters and
children. These were commandment keepers and lovers of the truth,

and they submitted their lives to Jesus Christ till to their last breathe,
they were sowers of the love and the true gospel of love, and their
seeds have yielded the true worship of God. Such is great love.
What Is The Reward For Those That Love God And Their Neighbours?
1 John 4:12, 17 "No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Herein is our
love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment:
because as he is, so are we in this world." If we love, God dwells in us
and the character of Jesus shall be manifested in us, and we shall stand
with boldness in the Day of Judgment because 'we know that we have
passed from death unto life.' 1 John 3:14 "We know that we have passed
from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his
brother abideth in death" If we love, good works and judgments follow
us and we'll abide in Jesus's love. But to those that do not love, those
who practice lawlessness abides in death because there is no light in
them, they are pronounced dead in spirit because there is no love in
them, there is no good in them because they have rejected the true
love. They have decided to cherish Satan's principles rather than those
of Jesus; they are conformed to the character of Satan because they
have chosen to abide in his deceptions.
Satan's character is deceptions and hatred towards the principles of
God's law. Satan’s enmity against Christ has been manifested against
His followers. The same hatred of the principles of God’s law, the same
policy of deception, by which error is made to appear as truth, by which
human laws are substituted for the law of God, and men are led to
worship the creature rather than the Creator, may be traced in all the
history of the past. Satan’s efforts to misrepresent the character of God,
to cause men to cherish a false conception of the Creator, and thus to

regard Him with fear and hate rather than with love; his endeavors to
set aside the divine law, leading the people to think themselves free
from its requirements; and his persecution of those who dare to resist
his deceptions, have been steadfastly pursued in all ages. They may be
traced in the history of patriarchs, prophets, and apostles, of martyrs
and reformers.
Why is God calling us to perform this duty of love?
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."
"Nature and revelation alike testify of God’s love. Our Father in heaven
is the source of life, of wisdom, and of joy. Look at the wonderful and
beautiful things of nature. Think of their marvelous adaptation to the
needs and happiness, not only of man, but of all living creatures. The
sunshine and the rain, that gladden and refresh the earth, the hills and
seas and plains, all speak to us of the Creator’s love. It is God who
supplies the daily needs of all His creatures. In the beautiful words of
the psalmist—“The eyes of all wait upon Thee; And Thou givest them their
meat in due season. Thou openest Thine hand, And satisfiest the desire of
every living thing.” Psalm 145:15, 16. God made man perfectly holy and
happy; and the fair earth, as it came from the Creator’s hand, bore no
blight of decay or shadow of the curse. It is transgression of God’s
law—the law of love—that has brought woe and death. Yet even amid
the suffering that results from sin, God’s love is revealed. It is written
that God cursed the ground for man’s sake. Genesis 3:17. The thorn
and the thistle—the difficulties and trials that make his life one of toil
and care—were appointed for his good as a part of the training needful
in God’s plan for his uplifting from the ruin and degradation that sin has

wrought. The world, though fallen, is not all sorrow and misery. In
nature itself are messages of hope and comfort. There are flowers upon
the thistles, and the thorns are covered with roses. “God is love” is
written upon every opening bud, upon every spire of springing grass.
The lovely birds making the air vocal with their happy songs, the
delicately tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air, the lofty
trees of the forest with their rich foliage of living green—all testify to
the tender, fatherly care of our God and to His desire to make His
children happy. The word of God reveals His character. He Himself has
declared His infinite love and pity. When Moses prayed, “Show me Thy
glory,” the Lord answered, “I will make all My goodness pass before thee.”
Exodus 33:18, 19. This is His glory. The Lord passed before Moses, and
proclaimed, “The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-
suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin.” Exodus 34:6, 7.
He is “slow to anger, and of great kindness,” “because He delighteth in
mercy.” Jonah 4:2; Micah 7:18. God has bound our hearts to Him by
unnumbered tokens in heaven and in earth. Through the things of
nature, and the deepest and tenderest earthly ties that human hearts
can know, He has sought to reveal Himself to us. Yet these but
imperfectly represent His love. Though all these evidences have been
given, the enemy of good blinded the minds of men, so that they
looked upon God with fear; they thought of Him as severe and
unforgiving. Satan led men to conceive of God as a being whose chief
attribute is stern justice,—one who is a severe judge, a harsh, exacting
creditor. He pictured the Creator as a being who is watching with
jealous eye to discern the errors and mistakes of men, that He may visit
judgments upon them. It was to remove this dark shadow, by revealing
to the world the infinite love of God, that Jesus came to live among

men. The Son of God came from heaven to make manifest the Father.
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.” John 1:18.
“Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to
whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.” Matthew 11:27. When one of the
disciples made the request, “Show us the Father,” Jesus answered, “Have
I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He
that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us
the Father?” John 14:8, 9.
In describing His earthly mission, Jesus said, The Lord “hath anointed Me
to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.” Luke 4:18. This
was His work. He went about doing good and healing all that were
oppressed by Satan. There were whole villages where there was not a
moan of sickness in any house, for He had passed through them and
healed all their sick. His work gave evidence of His divine anointing.
Love, mercy, and compassion were revealed in every act of His life; His
heart went out in tender sympathy to the children of men. He took
man’s nature, that He might reach man’s wants. The poorest and
humblest were not afraid to approach Him. Even little children were
attracted to Him. They loved to climb upon His knees and gaze into the
pensive face, benignant with love. Jesus did not suppress one word of
truth, but He uttered it always in love. He exercised the greatest tact
and thoughtful, kind attention in His intercourse with the people. He
was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word, never gave
needless pain to a sensitive soul. He did not censure human weakness.
He spoke the truth, but always in love. He denounced hypocrisy,

unbelief, and iniquity; but tears were in His voice as He uttered His
scathing rebukes. He wept over Jerusalem, the city He loved, which
refused to receive Him, the way, the truth, and the life. They had
rejected Him, the Saviour, but He regarded them with pitying
tenderness. His life was one of self-denial and thoughtful care for
others. Every soul was precious in His eyes. While He ever bore Himself
with divine dignity, He bowed with the tenderest regard to every
member of the family of God. In all men He saw fallen souls whom it
was His mission to save. Such is the character of Christ as revealed in
His life. This is the character of God. It is from the Father’s heart that
the streams of divine compassion, manifest in Christ, flow out to the
children of men. Jesus, the tender, pitying Saviour, was God “manifest
in the flesh.” 1 Timothy 3:16.
It was to redeem us that Jesus lived and suffered and died. He became
“a Man of Sorrows,” that we might be made partakers of everlasting joy.
God permitted His beloved Son, full of grace and truth, to come from a
world of indescribable glory, to a world marred and blighted with sin,
darkened with the shadow of death and the curse. He permitted Him to
leave the bosom of His love, the adoration of the angels, to suffer
shame, insult, humiliation, hatred, and death. “The chastisement of our
peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5.
Behold Him in the wilderness, in Gethsemane, upon the cross! The
spotless Son of God took upon Himself the burden of sin. He who had
been one with God, felt in His soul the awful separation that sin makes
between God and man. This wrung from His lips the anguished cry, “My
God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46. It was the
burden of sin, the sense of its terrible enormity, of its separation of the
soul from God—it was this that broke the heart of the Son of God. But

this great sacrifice was not made in order to create in the Father’s heart
a love for man, not to make Him willing to save. No, no! “God so loved
the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son.” John 3:16. The Father
loves us, not because of the great propitiation, but He provided the
propitiation because He loves us. Christ was the medium through which
He could pour out His infinite love upon a fallen world. “God was in
Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself.” 2 Corinthians 5:19. God
suffered with His Son. In the agony of Gethsemane, the death of
Calvary, the heart of Infinite Love paid the price of our redemption.
Jesus said, “Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life,
that I might take it again.” John 10:17. That is, “My Father has so loved
you that He even loves Me more for giving My life to redeem you. In
becoming your Substitute and Surety, by surrendering My life, by taking
your liabilities, your transgressions, I am endeared to My Father; for by My
sacrifice, God can be just, and yet the Justifier of him who believeth in
Jesus.”
None but the Son of God could accomplish our redemption; for only He
who was in the bosom of the Father could declare Him. Only He who
knew the height and depth of the love of God could make it manifest.
Nothing less than the infinite sacrifice made by Christ in behalf of fallen
man could express the Father’s love to lost humanity. “God so loved the
world, that He gave His only-begotten Son.” He gave Him not only to live
among men, to bear their sins, and die their sacrifice. He gave Him to
the fallen race. Christ was to identify Himself with the interests and
needs of humanity. He who was one with God has linked Himself with
the children of men by ties that are never to be broken. Jesus is “not
ashamed to call them brethren” (Hebrews 2:11 ); He is our Sacrifice, our
Advocate, our Brother, bearing our human form before the Father’s
throne, and through eternal ages one with the race He has redeemed—

the Son of man. And all this that man might be uplifted from the ruin
and degradation of sin that he might reflect the love of God and share
the joy of holiness.
The price paid for our redemption, the infinite sacrifice of our heavenly
Father in giving His Son to die for us, should give us exalted conceptions
of what we may become through Christ. As the inspired apostle John
beheld the height, the depth, the breadth of the Father’s love toward
the perishing race, he was filled with adoration and reverence; and,
failing to find suitable language in which to express the greatness and
tenderness of this love, he called upon the world to behold it. “Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be
called the sons of God.” 1 John 3:1. What a value this places upon man!
Through transgression the sons of man become subjects of Satan.
Through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ the sons of Adam may
become the sons of God. By assuming human nature, Christ elevates
humanity. Fallen men are placed where, through connection with Christ,
they may indeed become worthy of the name “sons of God.” Such love
is without a parallel. Children of the heavenly King! Precious promise!
Theme for the most profound meditation! The matchless love of God
for a world that did not love Him! The thought has a subduing power
upon the soul and brings the mind into captivity to the will of God. The
more we study the divine character in the light of the cross, the more
we see mercy, tenderness, and forgiveness blended with equity and
justice, and the more clearly we discern innumerable evidences of a
love that is infinite and a tender pity surpassing a mother’s yearning
sympathy for her wayward child." "For God so loved the word" is the
reason Jesus is calling upon us to love Him, and to love our brothers,
sisters and children. He is calling all of us to perform the duty of love.

To love God and our brethren because He loved us first, and when we
were sinners He died to redeem us from the bondage of sin.
Soon and very soon the world is coming to an end, believe it or not,
Jesus is coming quickly to reward every one of us according to our work.
Revelation 22:12 "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me,
to give every man according as his work shall be." Each and every one of
us is subject to the judgments of our Creator. I beseech you brethren,
to seek and worship God in truth, to love one another and keep God's
Ten Commandments, as we'll be judged according to the law. James
2:11, 12 "For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.
Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a
transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged
by the law of liberty." We must prepare ourselves for the judgment
before He comes and we can only be ready for it if we are able to
contain the love within our hearts and to worship God in truth. Jesus
Christ, in the gospel of John, said to the woman, "But the hour cometh,
and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit
and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit:
and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John
4:23, 24. So if we do not worship God in truth He will consider us liars
and never shall we inherit His eternal kingdom.
As His representatives among men, God does not choose angels who
have never fallen, but human beings, men of like passions with those
they seek to save. Christ took humanity that He might reach humanity.
A divine-human Saviour was needed to bring salvation to the world.
And to men and women has been committed the sacred trust of
making known “the unsearchable riches of Christ.” Ephesians 3:8. In
His wisdom the Lord brings those who are seeking for truth into touch

with fellow beings who know the truth. It is the plan of Heaven that
those who have received light shall impart it to those in darkness.
Humanity, drawing its efficiency from the great Source of wisdom, is
made the instrumentality, the working agency, through which the
gospel exercises its transforming power on mind and heart.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6. Jesus is the truth, and if we
ought to be His followers we need to trust His word which is the Bible.
Truth is independent of opinion. By its very definition, truth is
intolerant of error, every aspect petitioning conscience for
acknowledgement. The individual however holds the key to admission
or rejection. Rejection of the truth or the true knowledge of the bible
leads multitudes into false worship. Satan's Sophistry turns men into
hard-spirited religious zealots, and this is the work of the devil that he
may deceive and cause many to falsely worship the Creator.
This truth of love presented to you on these printed pages is what Jesus
requires us to do for the love that we have for our savior and our
brethren. However, you and I as individuals hold the key to admission
or rejection to this true knowledge of God. The Lord said to Hosea, “My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
Hosea 4:6.
When the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of his second coming
and the end of the world, the first thing He mentioned was, “Take heed
that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4. Deception is “having a form of
godliness, but denying the power of” 2 Timothy 3:5. Isaiah 8: 20 also says,
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in them.” The servant of God in 1 John 4:1
strongly encourages us to be watchful that we are not deceived by false
teachers, and prophets. He says, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but

try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are
gone out into the world.” We need to use the scripture in order to
identify true and false teachers because “All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:” 2Timothy 3:16.
In the book of Matthew, Jesus said, "Many will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out
devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I
profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work
iniquity." Matthew 7:22, 23.
Beloved ones let no man deceive you. Search the scriptures for reproof
and corrections, try the spirits whether they are of God, for He is
seeking those who worship him in truth and love. Seek to love and
worship Him in truth, lest He come and say to you on that day, "depart
from me, ye that work iniquity."

There Is a Gate That Stands Ajar
1. There is a gate that stands ajar,
And through its portals gleaming,
A radiance from the cross afar,
The Saviour's love revealing.
REFRAIN:
O depth of mercy! can it be
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me, for me?
Was left ajar for me?
2. That gate ajar stands free for all
Who seek through it salvation;
The rich and poor, the great and small
Of every tribe and nation.
3. Press onward, then, though foes may frown;
While mercy's gate is open
Accept the cross, and win the crown,
Love's everlasting token.
4. Beyond the river's brink we'll lay
The cross that here is given,
And bear the crown of life away,
And love Him more in heaven.
