No, those are not my words to you. I only tell my wife and kids that. 🙂
These words come from Jesus.
John 14:23-24 –23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
I could go on and on about this and it would be six pages long. However, short and sweet still reminds us of the point.
Luke 6:46 – 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
The sinful side of us says “OUCH!”
However, it makes all the sense in the universe.
