The command to love God and the command to love others are like each other. Love for others is how we love God. Love for people is the evidence of love for God. If you love God you will love people. That's why the two commands are like each other.
“ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ 38“This is the great and foremost commandment. 39“The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ (Matthew 22:37 NASB)
If you're loving people with a godly love it's because you love God. The two are inseparable.
"...the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen." (1 John 4:20 NASB)
Love for people is how we love God.
‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ (Matthew 25:40 NASB)
“ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ 38“This is the great and foremost commandment. 39“The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ (Matthew 22:37 NASB)

Buddy youtube is a dangerous place because if you lack the discernment then it can cause much more harm to your faith and your beliefs than good and trust me I know i have yet to recover from the damage done to me in my earlier faith from the false prophets and teachers. First if you didn't love God you would not feel the need to love him, you know in my first nine months of being saved it was amazing God interacted with me immensely and almost daily constantly pouring this flowing warmth of a love into my heart and inner being he would pierce my heart with his love as if it was a white hot knife and he and I would pour our affection and adoration for each other into each others hearts constantly the feeling of the love the and I shared was so deep and so rich that sometimes I could not stand it as if my human body simply was not made to be able to contain even a drop of this love.
But after exactly nine months of being saved suddenly these feelings nearly stopped and happened rarely from then on I didn't really understand why and even to this I miss those times but I understand now that the first nine months of feeling his love and my love for him was a training period but after nine months he needed me to be able to know our love without the (feeling) of it. Although he and I still do this sometimes for the most part I cannot feel the love however my love and my adoration for him has only deepened and enriched since then and I know this not because I can feel it but because I see it in how I constantly am seeking his heart and to know him and to have much more of him everyday as if I was a hungry lion starving for just a bit of food.
I know the hunger and I know the thirst I know how I seek a deeper and much more intimate bond and love with him that alone is evidence enough for me

There is NOTHING BUT Jews who will enter the Kingdom of God because of ONE JEW in particular, Jesus Christ.
Revelation 3: The Faithful Church
7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”:[c] 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it;[d] for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are JEWS and are NOT, but LIE—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold,[e] I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’
Remember, He is addressing a CHURCH here!
this is why knowing about dispensations is so important.
right now we're in the church age and its true very few jews get saved right now.
but soon we'll enter the time of Jacob's trouble which begins right after the rapture of da church happens.
during the time of Jacob's trouble and after it God will purify Israel, alot of them is gonna perish but the remnant will be saved. God actually told us that the archangel Michael is gonna be protecting Israel during that time.
then at the second coming those guys enter the millennial kingdom. thats when many of the prophecies to israel will be fulfilled.

1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
God is no longer bring any new prophecy the last was given to John (Revelation 22...Amen ).The possibility of another is sealed till the end of time. .Its how we try the spirits in order to recognize false prophets as false apostles. Its how we know Mohomid of ISIS is a false prophet, a murder from the beginning..
Believing the lie as a wonder (faith principle) God sends a strong delusion
Even him, whose coming is after the "working of Satan" with all power and signs and lying wonders,And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:2Th 2:9
And remember doubt is not the opposite of faith, unbelief,(no faith) is . The accuser of the brethren accusing us before God night and day.

How is the enemy saying why you don't love God? If it is just saying so, then don't believe it because...
1 John 4:[SUP]18 [/SUP]There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.[SUP]19 [/SUP]We love him, because he first loved us...........
BUT if there is a reason attached to it, like below....
1 John 4:[SUP]20 [/SUP]If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Then you need to go before that throne of grace for help if you hate your christian brother for whatever the reason.
I know I do when so many christian brothers and sisters are betraying me and looking for fault by the means which they betray me by. I am leaning on the Lord to separate myself from them since I have been defamed and alienated and targeted for passive bullying and defraudment in public, thus it is not possible to live peaceably among men. I need His help to continually forgive them whenever the devil tries to cause a flashback to tempt me to anger to get a grip on it to turn it into hatred and malice. I rather not be used as an instrument in public that tempts others into mischief. I rather not allow what they do to provoke me to happen so the devil does not get a grip on my anger.
Latest example... I am hard of hearing and so now that theaters have closed captionings devices, I had thought so far the people at the theaters will not mess with me any more, like turning off the listening devices where I get static from before. But now they figured out a way to mess with me even there, by blanking out the closed captioning where I get nothing while watching a movie, even if it is on. I switched it off and on to see that it was indeed on. Then I left the theater in disgust and looked at the closed captioning device in the hallway at a glance and saw that it said in closed captionings, "You are reading closed captionings, honey."
The Lord carried me through that event, got me home, and then allowed what I had read at a glance to hit me at night that it was not some line from some other movie, but a direct message to me from those who are making sport of me at my expense. I had gotten my money back, but now I can't go to the theaters any more since they figured out a way to mess with me now with the closed captioning devices.
Anyway, Jesus wants us to love our enemies and forgive others; and not seek vengeance nor recompense anyone for evil like reporting them to the owner to get them all fired so to avoid all that drama and the devil messing with me to hate them, I just can't go to the theaters any more. I can wait for it to come out on DVD to watch it in subtitles. Problem solved.
Anyway, when God convicts, it will be by His word to lead you to repentance in walking in fellowship with the Father & the Son; when the devil condemns, he sometimes gives no reasons to you, but it is generally given to promote fear in you than anything else that there is no going back to God now.
The Father corrects
The devil condemns
That is how you tell the difference.
Don't rely on feelings or supernatural sensations to convince you that He is with you because He is in us by faith alone.
2 Corinthians 13:[SUP]5 [/SUP]Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
John 14:[SUP]16 [/SUP]And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;[SUP]17 [/SUP]Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
God is with you as in you, no matter what, which is why we need even His help to trust Jesus Christ as our Good Shepherd to help us to follow Him in according to His words to us to abide by.
Ephesians 4:[SUP]30 [/SUP]And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Matthew 28:[SUP]18 [/SUP]And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.....[SUP]20 [/SUP]Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
So go before that throne of grace for help and guidance in whatever crisis of faith you are going through so you can rest in Him.
Hebrews 4:[SUP]12 [/SUP]For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.[SUP]13 [/SUP]Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.[SUP] 14 [/SUP]Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.[SUP]15 [/SUP]For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.[SUP]16 [/SUP]Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Matthew 11:[SUP]28 [/SUP]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.[SUP]29 [/SUP]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.[SUP]30 [/SUP]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
2 Timothy 4:[SUP]18 [/SUP]And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I would say Love GOD because He is Gracious and Merciful and Gave His only Begotten Son to suffer a painful death to save us.. if that does not pierce your heart what will I know not.. Love is not feigned... if knowing that GOD did all this to forgive and reconcile you does not break you to Repent I really can’t think of anything that will...
That act will soon come undone if it is not genuine reciprocated love...
To the threads author.. ask us not but go diligently seek GOD where He is found.. be sanctified by His Truth my dear.. go find the works of the Lord and Believe.. May you Be Faithful and increased by GOD.
