Ladies and Gentlemen, are we imitators of Christ as His Disciples, or are we just Associates of Christ focused on this worlds’ issues?
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”
Jesus replied,
Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I AM?
Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father! So why are you asking Me to show Him to you? Don’t you believe that I AM in the Father and the Father is in Me?
The Words I speak are not My own, but My Father who lives in Me does His work through Me.
Just believe that I AM in the Father and the Father is in Me, or at least believe because of the Work you have seen Me do.
I tell you the TRUTH, anyone who believes in Me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I AM going to be with the Father.
You can ask for anything in My Name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring Glory to the Father. Yes, ask Me for anything in My Name, and I will do it!
Jesus told him,
I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me – Belief in – Faith in – Trust in!

Dear ones, there are three ways that we can obey GOD! FEAR – DUTY – LOVE!
FEAR because we somehow think God’s anger is against us and we do not believe that He could LOVE us.
DUTY because we somehow think we must earn His Grace to receive any Blessings.
LOVE because we understand that He first LOVES us! He PAID the price for our Redemption for ALL of Eternity = Hebrews 10:5-18
Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in 1John 4:4-18
You belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a Victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them.
But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us.
That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of Truth or the spirit of deception.
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is LOVE.
God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world so that we might have Eternal Life through Him.
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and His LOVE is brought to full expression in us.
We know how much God Loves us, and we have put our Trust in His LOVE.
God is LOVE, and all who live in Love live in God, and God lives in them.
And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the Day of Judgment, but we can face Him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect Love.
We love each other because He loved us first.
