    Never expect anything from anyone, self-independence is a great thing to achieve. God loves you. Ands it’s okay to have good self-worth. Loving your neighbor as yourself becomes possible by the Spirit of Christ, not by pressure, guilt, or religious performance
    MatthewG
    Please be very careful to not believe people if they just simply say “they are sent by God.” There are people out there who want to control and manipulate you. It’s a reality. Be careful, think for yourself. Test all things, by the Spirit!
    MatthewG
    Jesus said I am the vine and without me you can do nothing unless you remain in me. (To love God and to love others its possible by help of the spirit of Christ.) That doesn't mean that you aren't able to cut people away from you if needed. Those situations God knows about for sure!
    MatthewG
    And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. - How much simpler would you like it? Faith is what pleases God, Hebrews 11:6. May the Spirit of Christ help you in your life!

    Choose living by the Spirit of Christ. Isn't that what it is all about or is it living every precept of what the bible says? You make that your own personal decison.
    MatthewG
    I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe the Spirit of Christ had anything to do with how one may feel. Feelings are good to have, but sometimes they are deceptive. The Spirit of Christ is not deceitful. So how do you balance that? For myself I don’t give into my feelings as much these days. Though I can have days where I get upset or angry. Just as any other normal person can or would.

    The Spirit of Christ produces actions within a person such as longsuffering. Do you know what that is or even means? It’s achieved through abiding in Jesus whom is the Vine, and longsuffering is a mean to continue going even when you really probably want to give up. That’s my thought of what it means I could be wrong.

    Owe no man nothing but love. Something like that. Sometimes it's okay to not engage. Sometimes it's okay to let awkward silence just be that.
    MatthewG
    Be careful of people who may fool you. Keep your faith towards God, Yahweh. The Father, remember what Jesus taught us. To forgive, mercy, peace. patience, the fruits of the Spirit of Christ within. Abide in him.
    MatthewG
    My worry is for people who are manipulated by all the religious things which are just a show. It has nothing to do with heart, if it's all just show.
    MatthewG
    God is a consuming fire. He is a lake of fire of love. His love is what burns people down, right? God is love. He loved all, he sent his Son.
    MatthewG
    Many people suggest God is mad and angry at you. That he is behemoths this anger about like a tyrant. Be weary of people who look at God this way! I love the Old Testament showings of God. I’m thankful Jesus reconciled all of that!
    MatthewG
    You can confess your sins however your flesh is still flawed. While the spirit can burn it down, and it can be put to death. Doesn’t stop it from coming back up. This is why Jesus is the one to place faith in. He completes us with God.
    MatthewG
    Did you know perfect doesn’t mean flawless. It means to be complete. May your relationship with God, be perfect. Faith is where it starts. Learning helps too.
    MatthewG
    Faith pleases God. You’ll find it in hebrews. All there is to do is love God and love other by the virtue of Jesus within you. That doesn’t mean you will end up living in peace with everyone but with Yahavah it’s assured through the Lord Jesus.
    MatthewG
    I hate it for the people who think about sin all the time. They plague themselves with "I need to do good enough" when its really the spirit of Christ, that causes any good to come through us which is heavenly by that nature.
    MatthewG
    When it comes down to it. Faith pleases God. What people do with their time, is on themselves. I know for myself I don't think about sin all the time. I just know what I don't like or allow in my life. So does everyone else.
    MatthewG
    God lives in you. And he lets us know what’s wrong or bad. and within everyone knows that. However that doesn’t mean you get to scold them and down them as they are human.
    MatthewG
    Everyone decides and choose what they do. All have sinned and fallen short. This is why you place your faith in Jesus in order from within you are completed by him. Not yourself.
    MatthewG
    I believe that God can work on the mind and consciousness and hearts which openly seek him. I do believe he cuts people back, so they can live by the spirit more than being in bondage to sin.
    MatthewG
    Faith is what pleases God, he also rewards those who seek him diligently. That doesn’t make the Bible itself God. Remember that.
