This is how we show YHWH that we love him. By keeping his word. John never taught the disciples Christs commands were to grievous for us to keep!
The Christ feels it is normal for his servants to keep his commands.
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. 10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say , We are unprofitable servants : we have done that which was our duty to do . Luke 17:9
See? Yeshua does not give his disciples special praise for doing his commandments. He sees it as our normal duty. |
Michael, can you define "sin"? Is not "sin" anything alien to God's own essence and nature, which is love?
