Fox Street Church of God

Jesus is the only answer to the fallen behaviors of humanity.  Jesus’ prayer for his disciples was for his Father to help them overcome themselves and their culture.  Love God, love people, love yourself.  Combat the human nature of hate and division!

So, hate can be like cancer.  Undiagnosed or unrecognized, a malignant tumor can grow little fingers that spreads to other parts.  If you don’t catch it in time, it can lead to death.  Hate is like cancer metastasizing. Insomuch, hate leads to the scandal of libel, slander, and gossip.  Then that cancerous cell has a bunch of buddies, just like him, ready to spread and make all around them unhealthy.

John 15:13 is often associated by being cherry picked and used as ultimately being Jesus’ death on the cross, and rightly so.  Jesus did show his love for all people by his atoning sacrifice.  That’s “Salvation 101” if you were to have had a class about it.  But Jesus’ conversation goes far deeper than just that!

READING ROMANS 8 IS ABOUT LIVING IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD.  THE 10 COMMANDMENTS HAD THE RIGHT SPIRIT BUT THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THEM HAD THE WRONG ATTITUDE.  JESUS PAINTS THE PICTURE OF THE SPIRIT IN THE 10 COMMANDMENT AND TOOK 2 OF THEM AND MADE THEM INTO 1 COMMANDMENT.
