The connection is actually quite simple and biblical.
1. The bible says we LOVE based on the fact that JESUS first loved us. (we have to EXPERIENCE Gods love before we have the capacity to love)
2. The bible says whoever repents, and trusts in his plan of salvation will be made alive, and given ETERNAL life. (this is how a child of God experiences Gods complete love, in that no greater love has any man then he lay his life down for the one he loved, We are saved SOLELY on the cross of Christ, which included his death.
3. Those who are saved, have been adopted into his family, Made joint heirs of his fortune, and forgiven of all our sins, As children, We experience Gods TRUE LOVE every day of our lives. in many ways, some we probably do not even know yet. so this gives us even MORE capacity to love.
4. Jesus said, Love the lord our God and our Neighbor, in these two commands are ALL THE LAW and prophets. So as we learn to love, and others more, and learn to love self less. The law and the prophets are being fulfilled in our lives. And of course all this points back to the point God loved us first (Adoption and [passing from death to life ETERNAL)
5. We also (as true children) have been given the HS, who will gladly chasten when we get out of line and lead us back to the path we want to follow (no child of God wants to live in sin, anyone who says they do does not know what it means to be a christian, As the apostle John said, A child of God can not sin, because they have been born of God, A person who sins has never seen God or known him, It is all quite clear.
SO the path and connection is simple. if we just look deeply into it.
God loves us (the cross) this is turn (when we repent and trust in him) causes God to adopt us into his family and give us eternal life, This in turn starts us on the path of learning to love as God loved us, The more we learn, the more we grow. And this by direct relation, causes us to be obedient. (if we love God, which we do, We will obey him)
to the OP. If all your going to do is say I am wrong, and do like you always do and say I ignore half of this or that, (Your usual tacktic to people who do agree wiht you) Do not bother.
Either respond to what I said with counterpoints, Or don't bother responding at all. let the people decide.
