One more time...What are the fruits?

Here's one more just for you.....

(1Jo 2:4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

That is a great scripture, who doubts it? Certainly not me. All kinds of people call themselves Christians, but it is only those who DO the will of the FAther will enter in (Matthew 7).

However, you have not answered what the fruits are OR what the commandments are.

This old song says alot about the Love of God.



THE LOVE OF GOD
1
THE LOVE OF JESUS TO ME IS GREATER
THAN ANYTHING ELSE I’VE EVER KNOWN
IT REACHES DEEPER, THAN ANY SIN STAIN
IT REACHES HIGHER THEN HEAVEN’S THRONE

CHO
THE LOVE OF GOD IS MORE TO ME
THAN ALL THIS WORLD COULD EVER BE
IT REACHES DOWN FROM
THE THRONE OF GLORY
AND SETS THE VILEST SINNER FREE

2
IT BROUGHT THE SAVIOR
FROM HEAVEN’S GLORY
TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR A WORLD OF SIN
THO’ GOD OF HEAVEN, HE CONDESCENDED
TO PROVE TO YOU THAT HE IS YOUR FRIEND

3
IT GIVETH COMFORT TO THOSE IN SORROW
IT BRINGETH PEACE TO A TROUBLED SOUL
THE LOVE OF JESUS GOES IN THE BY-WAYS
TO SEEK THE SINSICK AND MAKE THEM WHOLE

I always got the impression that God loved me as long as I was 'doing right', but would cast me aside immediately if I fell short of his expectations.

I'm thankful that I've learned that God's love is much stronger and deeper than that.
