Saying and Being are Two Very Different Things

So many people say they are Christians but have no regard for the Word of God even if they say they are "Bible believers."

When we really believe in something we follow it. Most believers I know follow what they like and dismiss as unimportant those things they do not like. They follow the culture, not the Bible.

Saying we are "Bible believers" while adding to scripture our cultural ideas and desires is lying. Dismissing some of God's Word is subtracting from the Bible, this is also a sin and dangerous.

John 14:15-16 "15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—…"

Jesus Christ is called the "WORD" He is the very essence of His own Word. To disregard his commands as unimportant is to disregard Him.

John 14:21

"Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him."

John 14:23

"Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him."

John 15:10

"If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love."

1 John 2:3

"By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments."

1 John 5:3

"For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,"

2 John 1:6

"And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love."

Christ could have been more clear than He has been in His Word. Those who pick and choose what they will follow do not love Him.
