DISCIPLESHIP, OUR JOB! So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:33 KJV http://bible.com/1/luk.14.33.KJV And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Matthew 19:29 KJV Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew 9:37,38 KJV For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14 KJV No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life mor

John 3:16 For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, that  whosoever believeth in Him should  not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:3b Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Matthew 18:3 Except ye be converted and become  as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. Revelations 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door I will come into him, and will sup with him and he with Me.  Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gi

To clearly understand what this means, we must look at the word for "love" that Jesus uses... Agape.  Agape - the Greek word used for "love" in reference to love thy neighbor, and love thine enemy. -to love, value, esteem, feel or manifest generous concern for, be faithful towards; to delight in, to set store upon. What exactly does this mean, and how do we execute this "love" in our daily lives as Christians? Jesus tells us in many references to "love" our neighbors as ourselves (whom could be anyone, of any faith),  and to love our enemies : Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.   This is the first and great commandment.   And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.   On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:37‭-‬40 This, meaning we can shut the books of the law and walk in Love alone. Ye have h
