"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him (obeys Him)should not perish but have eternal life.
Back to the garbage–do it, take it out, when asked and get a "thank you, son" to bask in.
And what does He ask of me?
Mark 12:29-31 Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
Trust, commit, obey–completely and now. It's not a 'round-to-it', not a 'let me see which parts I like' not an 'Ok, if I understand and think it's necessary." It's a do it and I, the LORD, God the Almighty will be with you all the way.
Praise the Lord, He has sent the Spirit to indwell and lead me through the step by step transformation into His likeness. Hallelujah
