Brothers
and sisters, we know that our lord certainly does love us. The evidence
is all around us.
God says:
1 John 4:9-13
This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.
And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.
By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.
Hey, this old world is full of conflict and
war. If you do not believe me, turn the news on. Most of it is negative
and getting worse.☀
However, we know that God has prepared a
special place for us. Christ says:
John 14:1-2
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

God
does wants us to obey Him because that is better for us. People need to
depart from sin.
Revelation 18:4
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my
people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her
plagues;
Basically, we are to avoid sin. Otherwise,
plagues is what we receive.
It is important that we really do understand
the path we are on. •
Christ tell us:
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Please choose the path that leads to life.
