Romans 6:17, “But God be thanked that [though] you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.”
Paraphrase: “But God be thanked for His His Son, power and grace that you were and no longer are under self-imposed law in your hearts. You were and are unable to free yourselves from its power being ignorant of truth and love, and blind of light. All have fallen short of His glory based on this self-imposed law in their hearts. And now, in Him, your hearts being effected by revelation, grace and truth of the Only Begotten of the Father, have willfully by grace hearkened unto the quickened foundational word that was delivered to you. This truth of this word, Col. 1:6, changes you from pattern to pattern unto perfection enabling you to supernaturally bear fruit. The imperfect particles of the old nature are nullified and made obsolete by the unveiling of Him and of His love that casts our fear and torment.”
Hebrews 3:15, “As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”
I can have all the revelation in the world, see the dead rise, own billions, have prestige, fame, gain the whole world, but it is of no real value or worth if I don’t know love.
1 John 4:8, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
1 John 4:16, “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.”
1 John 5:2, “This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.”
