How do you love Jesus?

[Behold]

As a Christian how do you love Jesus? Is respecting his directives considered loving Him? Or is it necessary on an emotional level?

Love Him with your life, and Thank Him with your Heart.

 

[LoveYeshua]

Love Jesus?
Obey His commandments?

How can the "hearers be doers" when they are Confused?

I have decided to follow Jesus?

Amen.

I know God's Ten Commandments are simple enough that anyone can understand what they mean as explained by Jesus who did so perfectly.

I know God's Ten Commandments are simple enough that anyone can understand what they mean as explained by Jesus who did so perfectly.

So, it is OK to go ahead and perfectly Disobey? His command to:

"Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way,​

SELL whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:​

and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." (Mark 10:21 AV)???​

When I saw the title of this thread, I couldn't help but think of this song:

Oh man Lambano, I could only listen to that for like 45 seconds and I couldnt take anymore of it

"Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way,​

I can see you like many others do not understand this passage. It is not at all acceptable to perfectly disobey His command. When Jesus told the rich young ruler, “One thing you lack: go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me” (Mark 10:21), He was not laying down a new law for everyone to sell all they own. Jesus, being God, saw directly into that man’s heart. He knew that the man’s riches were his true master, and that his wealth stood between him and full obedience to God. The command to sell everything was a test of love and faith. Jesus used it to reveal that the man’s heart was tied to his possessions, not to the Lord. The man claimed to keep all the commandments, but he failed the greatest one that was to love God with all his heart, soul, and strength. The story shows that it is not enough to keep the commandments outwardly; they must be kept with a sincere heart that puts God above all things.

For some, money is the idol that takes God’s place. For others, it might be pride, power, or comfort. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). The rich man’s treasure was on earth, not in heaven. That is why he walked away sad. Jesus never condemned having possessions, but He warned against being possessed by them. His point was that anything we place above obedience to God becomes sin. When He said, “Take up the cross and follow Me,” He called the man—and all who believe—to surrender whatever keeps them from full devotion to God. The message is the same today: it is not about selling everything, but about removing whatever stands between us and the Lord.

Jesus’ words as the son of God, the Christ, were a loving challenge, not a command to all to live without property. He wanted the man to see his own heart clearly, to understand that he loved wealth more than God. Eternal life does not come from riches, status, or outward obedience, but from a heart that truly loves God and follows His commandments with faith and humility.

So, the twelve and all their followers did perfectly Disobey Jesus' Command to "Be Perfect and Sell all"?:
Surely you jest, eh?:

The Truth is that the twelve and their followers Were Perfectly Obedient To Christ's Command [ on
the earth ] To: the twelve apostles and Jewish believers under Prophecy / Covenants / Law!:

...7) be perfect, sell all, take up cross, follow Christ

(Matthew 19:21; Mark 10:21 cp Acts 2:44-45, 4:34-37 AV)​

​

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

Far Different from What God, From Heaven, gave one apostle For The One Body Of Christ,
in His Current Dispensation Of Grace, According To "The Revelation Of The Mystery, eh?

6) Study God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided to show myself "Approved Unto God"
(2 Timothy 2:15), and all the rest of these Bible study Rules
+
7) Work with my hands to "give to them in need," and the LORD "shall supply all my need"
(Ephesians 4:28; 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12; 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12; 1 Timothy 5:8)

( Borrowed from I have decided to follow Jesus! )

Thus, humbly and kindly 'asking': why not prayerfully / Carefully review the entire one-page 'link' and
then let us know what you think, so we can come to a mutual understanding of All Scripture, and
Exactly how to follow our LORD and Saviour, Jesus Christ?

Amen?
