You by your own admission have denied His words. Jesus said less than 24 hours before His death, that if you LOVE HIM, YOU WILL OBEY HIS COMMANDS. How's that for context. You mean to say this instruction was only valid for a period shorter than it takes for milk to go off?
Yes In that sense we are to pray without ceasing . His will be done . Jesus did the will of the father perfectly without sin.
The fact that we who had no faith, not little, none are given the power to obey the loving commandment " Believe upon the Lord and you will be saved"
It is our first love as a experience . God giving us ears to hear and understanding to believe by working out the will of Emanuel . Its that love spoken of in Revelation 2 .The love we return to or repent, the comforting love. Then we can focus on putting away more and more childish things. He must increase as we decrease
That time period is every time we hear the voice of His loving commandments and do not harden our hearts. Then we have received the labor of his love working with us making the burden lighter .if there is no mixing of faith there can be no love of God working to soften the heart.
Hebrews 4 King James Version (KJV) Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into
his rest, any of you should seem to come short of
it. For unto
us was the
gospel preached, as well as unto
them: but the
word preached did not profit
them,
not being mixed with faith in them that heard
it. For
we which
have believed do enter into
rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
God is Love. God is Light. God is Spirit
