Wasn’t a question of love, it was a question of understanding.

I do love God, and I do love you, and pray for your understanding.

I thank you for your prayers and your intentions, sir. And I return them as best as I know how.

We look upon the commandments as, well, commandments. It is something overriding that we must do. We don’t get to, well, not do them. I have been extremely irritated with some of the Reformed posts that appear to minimize the responsibility of the individual to do the things that Jesus expressly and in multiple repeated ways commands us to do. Commands, not suggests.

Maybe that is something that perpetuates the misunderstanding of this works-based salvation that we are accused of. We are not works based, but we are commanded to do.
