If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He would have given us Ten Suggestions and not Ten Commandments.
[Zig Ziglar November 6, 1926 - November 28, 2012]
John 14:15 ... If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:21 ... He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
1 John 5:2-3 ... By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1 John 2:3 ... And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ❤
