"A New Commandment I give unto you" ,

Jesus said, " a new Commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another ; as I have loved you , that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John13:34

Imagine what this world would be like if all humans loved God the way HE deserves and if they all loved each other as the children of God! The peace and joy that would be possible is probably beyond human imagination. It would be supernatural! The fighting and the killing would stop. The hatred and persecution of believers would stop. The corruption and crime would end. The fraud, and abuse, and disinformation for monetary gain would all end! Wouldn't it be wonderfuf?

I believe that if every person would resolve to follow the Commandments of God for his or her own good and well-being, and determine to be guided by Jesus's new Commandment and also, the one "therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets" [Matthew 7:12] , this groaning-with-sorrow planet would take a deep sigh of relief. If you want respect, be respectable. If you want love, give love to all. If you want blessings, share what you do have with others expecting the words from Scripture to be true, "give and it shall be given to you" [Luke 6:38]

Somehow, the love of God has to take root in the world and grow like the Cedars of Lebanon. I am fully persuaded that it is the moral duty of believers in the ONE true God to teach His words and His wisdom and most of all, His love.

Pray that many will read this message from the US, and know that God reigns over us, and over them too, and that HE has not forsaken those called by His name. Let this message be like a candle lit in the darkness of hatred around the world that has been causing brothers [in God or in the flesh or in Abraham] to kill brothers or brothers to hurt their sisters, or sons to kill their fathers, or mothers to kill their offspring in the womb, or otherwise, or wives to kill their husbands for property; and shine the love of God far and abroad, and end the killing!

"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
