He wants commitment (Matthew 10:37,38) and for us to follow the things of love He increasingly reveals greater insight and wisdom on:.Micah 6:8 "He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?"

He went flat out for us. How hard it must have been for Him to give us His life:.Matthew 26:39. I mean He had it all. He did miracles. He was in great health. In His early 30's, He gave it all up for us. Jesus Christ is more than Lord. He is our dear spiritual brother

He was willing to give it all up for a reason why He came in the first place – again, Matthew 26:39. His purpose was to make much available to us.

One of those things was so we could think as he does, with compassion, love and concern for others:.John 15:8-14; 1Corinthians 2:16.

He wants us to first of all to be what is best for us, and that of loving mind, having as our decision the parameters of.the two great commandments (Matthew 22:36-38) which show how the Great Infinite One thinks:.1John 4:8,16. His heart is for us to be compassionate, caring, kind and loving towards others, being likeminded in love (Romans 15:5; Philippians 2:2; Ephesians 4:13) and progressing towards His fulness.

The commandment of love has no comparison with the highly regulatory, restrictive, and impossible to follow Mosaic Law, which had the ten commandments along with it:.2John 1:6.

The Mosiac Law produced the grace and forgiveness of God in the lives of humans back then, as it was virtually impossible to follow, and because it placed everyone into a state of sin, needed a balancing event which occurred each year.

He does not want you to come under what came to be known as a."yoke of bondage".

He wants you to know that God the Father is in love with you.(John 16:27; 17:20-26) and that our lives now are in His most capable hands thanks to His Father's wonderful plan:.Ephesians 1:6,12,14 "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved...That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ...unto the praise of his glory."

God always was forgiving. God always wanted a relationship with us individually:.2Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.".God also does not want you to have to continue to go through the agony of what caused you to need forgiveness, perhaps again and again, and where things could get worse:.Luke 11:24-28.

He wants you to have the joy He has. 

He also wants you to overcome and gain a great reward, to grow up into Him:.Ephesians 4:13-15 "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect.(original 'brought to its end, finished; wanting nothing necessary to completeness; full grown, adult, of full age, mature').man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.(through and study and by believing.what God thinks about you). That we henceforth.(from now on).be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ."

2Corinthians 10:5; Matthew 23:11..He wants you to not be thinking about being righteous in your own eyes, but to have others' concerns at heart. You can do this by thinking about His righteousness that He imputed to you and by thinking and believing (knowing for certain) that Jesus Christ is indeed in you

You will become different. Without that, works tend to exalt the self. When you take on the attributes of a servant in caring and kindness to others, attitude toward life improves.

Problems however (the tests and trials that we all have) still come along (Matthew 6:34) as they are used for character development:.Proverbs 3:11,12 "For whom the Lord loves he corrects.(as a child learning to balance, steer and ride a bicycle, who needs a hand to keep him upright); even as a father the son in whom he delights." 

Hebrews 12:6 "For whom the Lord loves he chastens.(original is 'trains' or corrects to improve).and scourges.(original is 'causes calamities').every son whom he receives. If you endure.(original also means 'take it patiently').chastening, God deals with you as with sons.(has set the universe up so we learn from what we sow we reap). For what son is he whom the father chastens not? But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers.(God is the same with all of us:.Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I change not......"), then are you bastards and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection.(serving God in the spirit, meaning, when our spirit has the same loving nature He has, and expresses it in good works toward others, we are aligned with His purpose for the universe and all in it).unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure, but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down and the feeble knees and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed."....continue?
