I love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. I am reminded of a passage in 1 John 2:3-5. 3 By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. I've come to understand that the word "know" signifies intimacy and closeness. Jesus even says in John 14:15 15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. So even though I am free from the law, my desire is to please the Savior. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In addition, what does Hebrews 11 say God does for those who seek him? That He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Well, I felt the need to comment since I have been thoroughly encouraged by you postings Tom and I encourage you to continue to bless us with your high thoughts of God! Yes!
