Love And Holiness Analysis

810 Words4 Pages

Introduction:

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus saud to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And te second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law.” (Matthew 22:36-40) The want to follow Gods commandments is within a sense of Holiness. Love and holiness cannot exist without one another. If we are to be holy, then we are to follow God’s footsteps in love. If we are to love properly, we are following the example of Holiness Jesus left with us. With these first two commandments, God has laid down a tutorial on how to love and be holy.

A perfect example is driving. Image “John” is speeding down the highway and just decides to cut in front of another car, barely avoiding an accident. That driver in the other car is already having a bad day because they left home with their lights being cut off and barely enough gas to make it to work but they’ve been riding to work, trying shift into a positive mood. However, John just ruined the other drivers mood for the entire day. That little action, that John didn’t even think about, was the last straw for someone. Imagine as Christians, if we could go about our day being aware of the interactions we have with other people. We never know what someone else is going through but if we embrace the spirit of Love and live in love for everyone else, just imagine how many people we could touch, how many days we could change, how many negative thoughts we could …show more content…

Christians are called to abide to a different set of standards than those of the world. We are called to be like Christ who is the definition of holiness. Those who follow Jesus, are to strive to live as Jesus, to be like Jesus. At the moment of Salvation, when we accept Jesus into our hearts, we allow the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This means we are no longer controlled by sin but by the Holy Spirit who calls us to holiness. (Etzel & Guiterrez, 189).

    Many people have given their lives to further the growth of the Church throughout the world and indeed many have admitted that even if God Himself were to visit them and suggest Joseph Smith was not really His messenger, they would not believe him, but would rather believe in Joseph Smith. This type of fanatical belief is indicative of how this belief has grown and perhaps that it may well be considered in the realm of “cultism” as well as simple religion? This type of fanatical belief is not limited to the Mormon Church. Indeed you find it in the Catholic Church and many of the southern Baptist churches and other protestant faiths throughout the world and certainly in the Moslem religion.

    “The Parable of the Sower” and other related parables in Mark 4 explain how one should listen to the word of God and treat others. Jesus says, “And these are the ones sown on the good soil: they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit,” (Mark 4) in order to emphasize how the people who accept and understand the word of God and live by it will be saved. Other texts such as Matthew 5-7, emphasize obedience in thought and deed to God. In this text, Jesus interpreted the Ten Commandments in a new way, telling his followers how they should act in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. He said, “Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5).
