Same Lie From The Garden

Is there anything wrong with asking believers to love God or even remind them to love God? Even it is out of goodwill... Well, I would say this is the same lie from the Garden that leads believers to fall from grace.

First thing first. We are broke, out of ourselves, how can we love?

We are able to come to our Father God because of Jesus, His Blood had opened a new and living way through His body. We accepted Jesus as our Savior to enter into the Holy of Holies and have intimacy relationship with our Heavenly Father. It is the grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father that through His Darling Son, He lavished His love to draw our hearts to Him. This magnificent union is sparking with love when sinners respond to His love by confessing with their mouths, “Jesus is Lord!”, and believing in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. Believers are already in the Holy of Holies enjoying His majestic love…

Here comes the friendly utterance, “You have to love God!” from legalistic or religious leaders. With this decent encouragement, believers are actually being motivated to turn away from the Holy of Holies. They are now made facing the Outer Court through the entrance of the Holy of Holies. Their religious environment gently pushes them out of the Holy of Holies and their religious teachings make them busy with the rituals at the Outer Court. They have fallen from grace…

This is the same evil lie from the Garden… It is back to the same principle of eating from the right tree. Christianity is not about right or wrong and do and don’t. It is about life. It is about the Tree of Life not about the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

The moment the Holy Spirit convicted believers to respond to Jesus’ love, the life to love has been imparted to them by the Holy Spirit. They are made holy by the Holy Spirit to love God the moment they accepted Jesus as their Savior. It takes the same lie from the Garden to lead these innocent believers to fall from their high status of sons of God to slaves bind by the law when they abide to the law trying to perform their love for God...

Romans 3:22 ~ The righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe…

Those who are accepting this lie from the Garden are being deceived to establish themselves in the wrong righteousness. If we established ourselves in the principle of do and don’t, we can never understand the righteousness of God. If we dwell in our flesh, we will never understand the righteousness of God. If we eat from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, we will never understand the righteousness of God. These establishments encourage and give glory to SELF... i.e. self consciousness, self effort, and self righteousness.

To counter this evil lie from the Garden, authority has been given to those who are established in His grace by using His word; i.e. " It is written, we love because He first love us! "

If we are not established in His grace, we can never discern what is from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil and what is from the Tree of Life..!
