Thought du Jour – Love Jesus, Love People

Some good thoughts from John Johnston's Blog:

I think many people love what Jesus does for them without loving Jesus. There is a big difference. Consider...

Jesus said: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” - John 14:15

“And this is (God’s) commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ and love one another, just as has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in them.” - 1 John 3:23-24

“If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar, for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.” - 1 John 4:20-21
