Seeing how all His commandments are instructions in, to, and towards righteousness, therefore to the degree one does righteousness to that degree can one know one knows Him…. For knowing Him is the all of everything in the time one has in this world, if one does not know Him all is lost that was meant to be gained…. For Jesus did die and one with Him, to the degree one enters into this truth, to that degree will one discover oneself not doing a righteousness that comes by and through oneself, but doing a righteousness that comes by and through faith in Christ Jesus…. For one keeping His commandments is a Divine act which only Christ’s life in one can accomplish… Faith in this life actually living in and through one, is the faith that will see the reality of this truth…. Oh to the knowing of Him, may His people do an increasing of righteousness so all might know an increasing of Him…. For blessings are to be discovered, to the degree one knows Him…..

John 3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God. How do we come to the light, and walk in the light? 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. This is the place where we work righteousness, bear fruit, and know that we keep His commandments. 1 Peter 1:22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart. While I freely admit that I have struggled to love many in fellowship, the ones whom I immediately fell in love with were those who shared in the love of truth, found in the doctrines of Christ. 1 John 3:23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 1 John 4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. How can someone love God, and not love His Word, His Son, and His children who walk in truth? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I test my own heart by my willingness to obey the speed limit, or being in obedience to civil authorities. Do I try to obey exactly? Do I become prideful for my obedience while all those no good speeders whizz past me? Do I drive 5 over the limit or the amount I think I can get away with? My heart can be so deceitful and wicked!
