God's Message on 01/16/2015 Love God and Your Neighbor or God's Judgment?

Congress and the Public (Approval Rating)

What is God’s approval rating of the people of the United States of America?

What actions are you going to take in loving God and your neighbor? 
Do something to avoid God's Judgment!

Matthew 22:36-40 New International Version (NIV)

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied:

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 

This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:

‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Unbelievers or New Believers

Romans 13:9-11 New International Version (NIV)

The commandments,

“You shall not commit adultery,”

“You shall not murder,”

“You shall not steal,”

“You shall not covet,”

and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command:

“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

The Day Is Near

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

Unbelievers or New Believers – Scriptures taken from the Holy Bible [1]

Isaiah 13:18-20 New International Version (NIV)

Their bows will strike down the young men; they will have no mercy on infants, nor will they look with compassion on children. Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the pride and glory of the Babylonians, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations; there no nomads will pitch their tents, there no shepherds will rest their flocks.

Unbelievers or New Believers – Scriptures taken from the Holy Bible [1]

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
