  • It appears that ever since I came to the Church of God World
    Mission Society, I've been hearing one common theme from friends and
    family like a resounding gong. This central idea that everyone has been
    expressing to me lately is that we are saved by our faith, our belief in
    Jesus Christ is what gets us into the kingdom of heaven.
  • Now I don't know about anyone who may be reading this but
    personally, when it comes to matters such as salvation, I make sure that
    I am extra careful to find the correct answers. So I took the time to
    review some of the things I've studied in the Bible and came across some
    very compelling verses on this issue.
  • John 13:15- "I have set you an example that you should do as I have
    done for you."
  • John 14:15- "If you love me you will obey what I command."
  • It can clearly be seen that if we desire to love God, we must obey what
    he commanded. But what did he command? That follow the example that
    set for us.
  • Between these two verses, it is plain to me that just believing is God
    is not enough. Believing in God and confessing His name is the
    beginning of our path to salvation. However, it is clear in the Bible
    that our beliefs and confessions must be backed by our actions.
    This understanding was revealed by our Heavenly Father Christ
    Ahnsahnghong who came to remind us of all of Jesus Christ's teachings.
    Although Christ Ahnsahnghong gave us enough to understand from these
    verses, I presume that if the readers of this blog may be something like
    me and may not be satisfied with just these verses. In this case I will
    post again very soon to show what else Christ Ahnsahnghong said on this
    matter.

It's true! Without doing what God says, how can we prove that we love God? Everyone knows that actions speak louder than words. So we must SHOW our love to God by DOING what He commanded us.
