He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

If you do not persevere until the end, you were never really born again.

said perseverance is evidential, not causal.
the new birth is causal, and it is not an human work, but the work of God.

do you understand these words?
evidence? cause? effect?

Just as bad if the sidewalks have not been salted... I have gone for my morning run and have had a few bad spills.... not fun! :(
you got to learn viking levels of balance. patience is key. if all other fails start skiing.

you know in here they dont even salt the sidewalks ever? they put some rocks in cities but in countryside you are just left to slip hahaha.

what are His Commands?

believe in Me and love one another.

so, get it straight when you go to the Command verses, as to what the Commands are.

Obedience comes first; we do not cease from own labour unless we enter into His rest which is called heaven.

grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me
(Psalm 51:12)


the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak
(Matthew 26:41)

persavil sounds like a medicine you take for upset stomach. or in this case to get upset stomach.
it sounds like a medicine i know nothing about what it does or what its meant to treat but about which i am nonetheless encouraged to talk to my doctor & ask him to prescribe. so the makers of it can get $$$. :unsure:

I need to get me those metal studs for my runners this year so it does not happen again!

You be careful there Melach, one bad fall can lead to a host of problems!!

If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love.

context means nothing with Persavil.....
that's the way it is with these drug commercials.
no context. just people smiling doing daily activities.
no explanation of what it is or does.
no reason you might need it.
just ask your doctor to allow you to pay $$$ for it.
