- Love and Time










Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

************************************

I
felt my tears falling as I folded the letter. I wanted to shout out to
let her know that I love her, if not as much, but more than she did for
me. I love her more than anything in this world. I knelt touching the
soil of her grave and rain started to fall. I continued crying softly
and whispered, "Oh God, send my love to heaven."

What

can I say about a girl I loved since I was ten... that I love the way
she laughs at me when I commit mistakes, the way she fusses over silly
things and even the way she cries over some sad silly late night show...

She
was my best friend and I have known her since we were small. She knew
all my secrets, which reveals my feelings for her, that I love her not
only because she's pretty and smart but also the way she laughs at
everything and the way she sees life and love. I could still remember
the first time we met; I was five years old then. It was one windy
afternoon having no one to play with except for my best friend, Troy. He
and his family just moved out to a neighboring state at transfer
because his father got promoted. And so I climbed up our tree house, I
saw a moving truck coming down the street. I watched it approaching and
noticed a family station wagon following it. It stopped in front of the
house and out came a family. I was about to glance away when came out
the loveliest girl I've ever seen.

She was four years old that
time but then even at an early age she was a beauty. She had long curly
hair, which reached almost to her waist. She had fair complexion and
eyes which could make a man lose his heart into them. I continued to
watch her when suddenly she looked up and saw me watching them in the
tree house window. I was about to duck when she smiled and waved her
hand. I waved back and then watched in amazement as I saw her running
towards the tree house. So I went to the edge of the ladder and said,
"Would you like to come up?" she answered, "May I?" So I help her climb
up and when she reached the top she then turned to me and said, "By the
way, my name's Sam, what's yours?" I answered, "My name is Christopher
but then you can call me Chris." She smiled and said, "Well I like your
name. Hey your tree house's neat!" then I replied, "Thanks! Troy and I
made this. This used to be our hide out. We used to goof around, play
ball and go biking together. He was my best friend and I kind of miss
him you know." She smiled and said "I'm here now, we could do things you
do with Troy and I could be your new best friend too. I never had a boy
for a friend before so it could be exciting to have one. I could learn
how to play ball and I have my bicycle so we could go biking together.
Now how does that sound to you?" I smiled and said, "Well that sounds
good enough." Then she held her hand and said, "It's a deal then!"

So
that's how it started. So we became best friends and it was kind of
strange at first for she was a girl and there are things which I was
little bit hesitant to indulge her like catching frogs, swimming in the
lake and climbing trees, but then she tried and did everything just to
please me. There was even a time when she fell off the bike trying to
catch up with me in a race we had and I was the one who bandaged her
scraped knee. I could still remember the time when she hit the window of
our neighbor when we were playing baseball and it was I who talked to
Mr. Chambers and promised to pay for the damage, which meant having to
loose a week's allowance. I remembered the time when I fell off the tree
when I tried to rescue a little kitten because Sam was near to tears
when she saw the helpless kitten trapped in a branch. I even fought with
the tough guy when they teased Sam and made her cry and I ended up
having a black eye and a bruised cheek. I remember Sam crying as she
placed an ice bag over the damaged eye and later gave it a get-well
kiss. I did everything to please her and gave everything her little
heart desires.

The lake was our favorite hang out. We had our
Saturday swim routine. We would pack food and later eat them under the
big oak tree. There was a special branch in which the two of us could
sit together and tell each other's dreams. She dreams of being a
Ballerina and she knows my dream of becoming a doctor. She never laughs
at my dreams and pursuits even if they were quite impossible. It made me
like her even more.

As years went by, I noticed that my feelings
towards her were slowly changing. Somehow, I thought it was just a
simple crush case. But when I started thinking about her at night,
dreaming of her and having the feeling of wanting to be with her all the
time, I thought it was something different, something that made me feel
strange, but then it was exhilarating feeling. It made me feel so
alive. Whenever our hands touch, I could feel the tingling sensation in
my spine. Once when we were at the lake having our Saturday swim routine
and as I carried her towards the water edge, I had the feeling of not
wanting to let go. I just wanted that moment to continue hoping it would
never end. I then realized I was slowly falling in love with my best
friend.

Many times I tried to deny the feeling for I was scared
to imagine what would happen if ever I'd try to tell her how I feel
about her. I was scared because she might think that I'm taking
advantage of her and our friendship. I was afraid of losing her so I
just kept my feeling hidden.

We reached the age of fifteen and I
noticed that Sam grew lovelier each day. How my heart aches wherever I
see boys glance her way. I want to punch their noses as I watch them
talking to her giving compliments, flowers and chocolates. There were
times when I watch her at a distance with mixed feelings of anger and
hurt! Because it hurts so much to know that there were so many things I
wanted to tell her but then I could not do so. There were so many
presents which I long to give her but then I could not for she might see
me only as a friend. I was also scared of letting her know how I feel
about her as much as losing her.

Then one day, I just learned
from a friend that she already had a boyfriend. At first, I tried to
convince myself that it was just a rumor. Her boyfriend was Mark, a
popular senior, who was the heartthrob of the campus. She, being the
cheerleader was close to the basketball team to which Mark was the
captain. When I saw them walking together at the parking lot that
afternoon, I watched her with my heart slowly breaking into pieces. I
saw her wave at me but I just pretended not to see her for I was scared
that she might see in my eyes the pain I'm feeling inside because of
seeing her with another guy. Those days that followed where the saddest
days of my life. How my heart aches when I see her walk by me with him
at her side. Every time we meet in hallways and I see him around her,
there's a feeling inside me that makes me want to grab her away from
him. How it hurts to see the girl I long possess was now owned by
somebody else. That special smile I long for her to cast on me was now
casted on him. As she passes by me she doesn't know that I whisper the
words "God how I love you."

Then one faithful day they broke up.
She came too me that evening crying on my shoulder. They had a big fight
and it ended up with their break up. Mixed feelings were scaring me
inside. I was happy because she was free and maybe I would have the
chance of telling her my true feelings for her but then I was feeling so
bad because she is crying her heart out just for him. At that time, I
was not quite sure of what I wanted to do.

So we found ourselves
doing what we did in old days with our Saturday swim routine, spending
time in our tree house. We still enjoyed doing childish pranks for we
still are both young at heart. So many chances I had for me to confess
my feelings for her but still I couldn't bring myself to her for I was
scared of losing her once more. I once lost her, now I could not bear of
losing her again by telling her, "I love her". So I just kept my
feelings even if it was bursting to be expressed from my aching heart.

It
was a week from our JS Prom, we were seated at the branch of an oak
tree drying ourselves after our afternoon swim when she said, "I was
wondering Chris if you would like to be my partner?" It just got out of
my wits for it was like a dream I never thought would happen. It took me
awhile to answer her, "I thought there are so many boys who would die
for you to be their partner?" So she turned away and quietly said, "Well
I just thought I would like to spend that night with my best friend."
Then she continued in a whisper I could barely hear, "Don't you want to
die just like them to be my partner Chris?" I was too stunned to speak
for it came close for me to blurt my feelings for her. We… we're silent
for a while until I finally whispered, "I would be happy to be your
partner Sam. "The she smiled and suddenly kissed my cheek. I could
hardly contain the joy I felt that time. I saw her turned red and bowed
her head. Suddenly she stood up and run towards the water saying, "Last
one to reach the water treats to sundae fudge!”I ran slowed up so that I
would lose which meant having to have her with me for another three
hours or more.

Our Prom night came. I bought a new tuxedo and
poured almost the entire bottle of perfume. I went to fetch Sam. Sam's
mother greeted me and I went to sit in the living room waiting for her
to come down. I was talking to her father when I heard her say, "How do I
look?" I look up and saw her lovelier than ever in a strapless white
dress with her hair flowing around her face. I stood up and opened my
mouth but found out I could not find my voice. Then I got her hand
shakily fastened the corsage around her wrist and whispered, "To the
loveliest girl in the whole world." She then asked, "Is that true?" I
nodded and she smiled and I smiled back then I turned to open the door
for her. When we arrived at the gymnasium we hardly recognized our
classmates. Gone were the jeans and T-shirts. They were replaced with
tuxedos and gowns. Then I held out her hand bowed and said, "Would you
give me the honor of your first dance?" She laughed and curtseyed. Then I
led her to the dance floor. It was like a dream coming true, a moment
of enchantment. I was there dancing with the only girl I ever loved. She
was smiling up to me, as we were slowly moving in a smooth gliding
motion. I found myself lost as I stared down to her sparkling eyes. The
curls of her long hair were like waves enhancing her beautiful face.
There were so many things I wanted to tell her that moment. I wanted to
tell that she was the most beautiful girl that night. I wanted to tell
her that she would always be the beacon of light in my darkness, but
what I wanted to tell her the most was that I love her. I drew up all my
courage and bent to whisper it in her ear but suddenly the music
stopped and the magic was gone. I came close to telling her, but still
haven't done it.

We walked towards the table and found ourselves
surrounded by friends. I asked her if she wanted a drink, she nodded and
so I went to get one. It took me a long time to get one and when I
returned to our table, she was gone. I asked her friend, Katie, where
she was but she told me that she doesn't know. So I went to search for
her. As I was searching for her, I reached the garden. There I saw two
silhouette figures outlined by the moon's silvery light. They were so
close to each other that I could never describe the feeling I had when I
recognized the white dress that Sam was wearing that night. I just
turned and left the gymnasium.

Since that night, I avoided her.
Many times she tried talking to me but I never gave her the chance to do
so. I was afraid to hear her say that she loves Mark and not me. I
would rather have left in ignorance of her true feelings for me than to
hear from those dreaded words and feel my hope crush and my heart break.
I didn't return her calls. I would not see her if she comes into our
house. In the hallways, as she approaches I would go to another
direction. It also hurts to do those things but then I thought that was
the best way to forget her. Those months were tormenting but still I
kept my pride.

The day of our graduation came. I was planning to
take up medicine at a neighboring state and was to move out the next
day. As the program ended, she approached me and handed me a rose. As
she stared at me, there was something in her eyes I couldn't describe.
There was sadness in them and when she smiled it wasn't the same smile
she had. I wanted to hug her at that moment, tell her that I love her
but then she turned and walked away from me.

So I moved out the
next day as I planned. Luckily, I was accepted at the university. I
concentrated with my studies but still I think of her at night. I was
always wondering if she thinks of me too. I tried hard not to think of
her but still I could not stop myself from loving her. Each achievement I
have was done for her. I thought that if I will be successful one day, I
would be able to tell her that I love her and by that time, I'm worthy
of having her.

It was a year after our graduation when I decided
to return home and see her again. I thought a year is too much for me
not to see her and during the past year I felt like a person lost in the
desert and only the sight of her could quench the thirst I have inside.
As I got off the plane, I went home directly, desperate to get to her
house desperate to see her, to hug her. Then I would tell her that I
missed her and that I have loved her for a long time. This time I am
determined to let her know my true feelings for her and I could not
contain anymore the love I have for her. I reached their house; I saw
her elder sister and I approached her. I smiled at her but I noticed she
didn't smile back. I was confused for she used to be a cheerful lady
just like my dear Sam. I then asked, "Hi Jen! I guess you're surprised
why I'm here. Well I just want to visit you and I was also hoping to see
Sam. I kind of miss her you know. Mmm… by the way have you seen her?"
All I saw was sadness in her eyes as she replied quietly "Come follow
me."

I was confused with the way she's acting but still I
followed her. As we were walking, I was trying to indulge her in a
conversation but she just answered my question briefly. Then I realized
that she was leading me to the direction of the lake. It was still the
same as I left it, with the same oak tree, Sam and I used to climb up. I
smiled upon remembering the kiss Sam gave me when I agreed to be her
partner. It's been one of the happiest days in my life and I realized
that I missed Sam more than I thought. Then Jen stopped walking and
pointed to the tree. She then whispered, "There's Sam."

I looked
at where she was pointing and saw a newly dug tomb with the name of the
girl I ever loved. I could not believe at what I saw and desperately
tried convincing myself that this is all just a nightmare and I would
soon wake up. I stared at Jenny in disbelief with her eyes searching for
explanations and she slowly started saying, "It has been a week since
she died. She died of Leukemia, but even though she was sick, she never
stopped thinking about you. It was even your name she uttered before she
died. She asked us to bury her here for she always regards this place
as a place of LOVE. She said that this is where she had spent the
happiest days and that was when she was with you. By the way, she also
asked me to give you this." She handed me a parcel and with that she
left.

I slowly opened the parcel and saw that it contained the
dried orchid from the corsage I gave her for our prom. Then at the
bottom I saw a letter. It was dated last month. I opened it with shaking
hands and started reading........


******************************

I
know… by this time you read this letter I'm gone. I just want to tell
you that I feel very lucky and thankful to God that I had a friend like
you. I would also like you to know that I had left something inside,
something I kept from you all these years. I love you Chris, not in a
friendly way but as one who would feel like spending the rest of my life
with. I have always loved you even from the start. I guess it just
bloomed each day that's why the happiest days of my life was… when you
were by my side. You just don't know how I dreamed of you at night and
wake up in the morning and dream no more for you were with me. When you
were away, I can't stop crying because I was afraid to think that you
are with another girl. I just can't bear to see you with another girl. I
just want you all to myself. I may sound selfish but that's how I feel.

Each
time, you held me close to you, was like a dream coming true, for to be
close to you and feel your heart beating next to mine was like heaven.
So many things I did so that you will learn to love me but I NEVER saw a
hint. I did everything to please you because I love you so much that I
even tried to fool myself that you're in love with me too. So many
nights I've cried when I think of myself unloved by you. Well you might
think that what I'm saying are lies but, I tell you, my heart speaks the
truth for I cannot bear telling a lie to the one I love. I know you
might be thinking of Mark; but I just did that to make you jealous, to
make you see me as a young woman, capable of loving and not as the
little girl you used to play with. Sometimes I imagined that you were
jealous and fooled myself that it was a sign that you feel something for
me too. When Mark and I broke up and I came crying, I just did that to
know… how you would react and with that I'll know that you love me too.
But I failed for you didn't give me any clue. When our prom night came,
you just don't know how happy I was when you handed me the corsage and
saying that I was the loveliest girl in the whole world. While we were
dancing, I wanted so desperately to hear you say that you love me too
but you NEVER did. When Mark came and pleaded me to give him a second
chance, I was scared that you might see us talking. I didn't want you to
get the wrong impression so I told him we would talk in the garden.
There I explained to him that it's you whom I really love.

What
happened next was that I found you missing and later learned that you
were searching for me, I just concluded that you saw us together. The
next day, I tried to explain but then you never gave me a chance to do
so. You continuously avoided me and never knew how much pain I've
experienced that time. I felt the world crushing on me. In our
Graduation day, when I approached you, I wanted to tell you… how much I
loved you but I decided that I just couldn't do it. I could not bear to
hear that all you feel for me is just brotherly hand of love. For I want
you to love me as a woman and not as a girl or playmate. So I just
turned away and left.

Now that saying I LOVE YOU might be too
late, but still I want you to know that I will always love you and my
heart has always been and will be yours alone.

P.S.: Think of me sometimes... and always remember that loving you was the best thing that ever happened in my life.

************************************

I
felt my tears falling as I folded the letter. I wanted to shout out to
let her know that I love her, if not as much, but more than she did for
me. I love her more than anything in this world. I knelt touching the
soil of her grave and rain started to fall. I continued crying softly
and whispered, "Oh God, send my love to heaven."

Inspirational story of Mr Henry Sy (SM founder, CEO)



Henry Sy was only 12 when he left China and followed his Father to the Phillippines. He cried when he saw his father: a poor man, struggling to make his sarisari store work. The young Henry worked 12 hours a day in his father's store and looked for ways to increase the store's income.
Near the end of World War II, they loast everything. One of his Father's two sari-sari stores burned down and the other looted.
The elder Sy went back to china but a hopeful Henry Sy stayed behind and went into "buy-and -sell" of different kinds of stuff to survive. After a war, he started selling American shoes imported from GIs and later opened a shoe store.
Henry Sy kept on finding ways to increase his income to support his family and soon opened ShoeMart which sold not just shoes but accessories, leather goods and cloths. In the next few decades he was able to built 21 supermalls which at present are visited by 1.6 million Filipinos everyday.
About 70 years after arriving from China with no money, henry Sy became one of the richest persons in the world with a fortune that reached $2.6 billion in 2007. His extraordinary success was a result of hard work,persisstent,discipline, thriftiness, eagerness to learn and the desire to make things happen.

For me this is very inspirational message

THE word of GOD

We all agree Jesus forgives us for our past sins, but
did Jesus come so that we can continue to sin without guilt, or did he
come to
destroy our sin?
Did
Jesus come to set the captives free from guilt, or did he come to set
us free from the bondage of sin? Did Jesus come so that we
can continue to sin without guilt, or did he come to lead us to repentance
and remission of sin? If
knowing the truth will set you free, from what are we supposed to
be set free - guilt or sin?

Doesn't a removal of guilt make sin easier for us all,
allowing us to sin more without fear; so Jesus came so we can sin more,
so Jesus came to promote sin? Doesn't this makes Jesus evil? Could the
devil make sin any easier than the guilt-free ease of sin this false
doctrine attributes to Jesus? This is a major deception. Jesus said,
I
tell you the truth,everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
John
8:34. If we are a slave to sin, he
can't be our Lord. You
are the slaves of him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which
leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness.
Rom 6:16,19. What about repentance? His message was:
unless you repent, you too will all perish.
Luke 13:3. Certainly our sins are forgiven
us while we seek to become free of sin, but we had better be sure we
are
repenting to work out our salvation that leads to purification
and the
rest, otherwise we will fall short of the mark.

Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive
diligently to enter that rest, that no one may fall or perish by the
same kind of unbelief and disobedience [that the Jews in the wilderness
showed]. Heb 4:11. This is a
serious warning to all who call themselves Christians: to avoid
losing your soul and being banned from heaven, as the
Jews were killed in the desert and banned from entering the promise
land because
of unbelief in God's promises, you must zealously
labor in faith to attain the promised rest of the
spiritual Sabbath, which is union
with God and entrance into the
Kingdom of Heaven, within you and around you. We sit
down in Christ to enter
the rest, to enter the rest from fighting our enemies, like
Israel entered the rest from fighting and purging their land of the
surrounding heathen peoples; only our enemies are spiritual: lust,
rage, pride, selfishness, envy, greed, covetousness, jealousy, lying,
cheating, stealing, sexual immorality, profane language, and evil
thoughts, etc. Salvation is to
be delivered and released from[url=http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=mat%206:13,Luke%2011:4,Col%201:13,1%20Thes%201:10;&version=9;] sin[/url] and be protected from evil, [url=http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%2017:15-19,Eph%205:25-26%20;&version=45;]
sanctified This [/url]is the rest by which you may cause the weary to rest, and this isIsa 28:12 the
refreshing; yet they would not hear. .
from our enemies of sin. Let it not be said of you:


For
God has not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness. 1 Thes 4:7


You
can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person..has any inheritance
in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
[Immoral, impure, or greedy people are

banned
from heaven; instead they suffer Hell.]
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for
because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are
disobedient. Eph 5:5-6
The disobedient incur God's wrath; including those who
think they are Christians.
Let
him who thinks he stands take heed lest[url=http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=1%20Corinthians%2010:8-12;&version=50;] he fall[/url].

Regarding judgment day, Christ said he would reject many who
thought they were Christians, even those who performed miracles in his
name.

Many
will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your
name,
cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Mat 7:22-23


Whoever commits sin practices lawlessness;
for sin is lawlessness. 1 John 3:4


The
Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out
of His kingdom all things that offend,
and those who practice lawlessness [sin],
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:37-43


.

To
those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness; those receive indignation and wrath, tribulation and
anguish; upon every soul of man who does evil. Rom
2:8-9

When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live,
and he trusts to his own righteousness and commits iniquity, all his
righteousness shall not be remembered; but he shall die for his
iniquity that he has committed. Eze 33:13
.
So much for grace covering all your sins until your die.


Without
holiness, no one will see the Lord. Heb 12:14



Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Mat 5:8
(Without a pure
heart, you will not see God.)

So, if we die still sinning, we are condemned. We have not
received enough grace from God to free us from the bondage of sin.

That is the task - even though we are undeserving, to
receive more grace - enough
to be freed from sin.
To receive more grace, we
must strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you,
will seek to enter and will not be able. Luk
13:24


Grace is the unmerited favor of God, God's love, therefore a
gift. A gift is free, grace is free. Grace
has been given to all men
by the Spirit of God being poured out on all men and women, since
Pentecost, 2000 years ago. By grace, we are allowed to access the
power of God to become righteous, whatever our sins of
the past and whatever our current problems. This
righteousness from God comes [but not instantly]
through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no
difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came
by Christ Jesus.
Rom
3:22-24. Eventually, but only after
the work of repentance

righteous and become

nature to us.


To believe you are saved,
while still immersed in sin is to ignore,
disregard, and treat with indifference all
the commands of Jesus, while relying on a select four verses out
of thousands to support an imaginary salvation; never bothering to
question how those four verses must be interpreted in conjunction with
Jesus' wonderful teachings and commands. And so people expect Jesus to
be their excuse for not obeying the commands that he
left his glory in heaven to come to the earth to teach; and then
died a horrible death, to
show the extent of the required obedience that we all must have to ever
please God. He will not be their excuse. He
will deny all who continue to sin. Only
those who do the will of the Father enter the Kingdom of heaven.

THE word of GOD

We all agree Jesus forgives us for our past sins, but
did Jesus come so that we can continue to sin without guilt, or did he
come to
destroy our sin?
Did
Jesus come to set the captives free from guilt, or did he come to set
us free from the bondage of sin? Did Jesus come so that we
can continue to sin without guilt, or did he come to lead us to repentance
and remission of sin? If
knowing the truth will set you free, from what are we supposed to
be set free - guilt or sin?

Doesn't a removal of guilt make sin easier for us all,
allowing us to sin more without fear; so Jesus came so we can sin more,
so Jesus came to promote sin? Doesn't this makes Jesus evil? Could the
devil make sin any easier than the guilt-free ease of sin this false
doctrine attributes to Jesus? This is a major deception. Jesus said,
I
tell you the truth,everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
John
8:34. If we are a slave to sin, he
can't be our Lord. You
are the slaves of him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which
leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness.
Rom 6:16,19. What about repentance? His message was:
unless you repent, you too will all perish.
Luke 13:3. Certainly our sins are forgiven
us while we seek to become free of sin, but we had better be sure we
are
repenting to work out our salvation that leads to purification
and the
rest, otherwise we will fall short of the mark.

Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive
diligently to enter that rest, that no one may fall or perish by the
same kind of unbelief and disobedience [that the Jews in the wilderness
showed]. Heb 4:11. This is a
serious warning to all who call themselves Christians: to avoid
losing your soul and being banned from heaven, as the
Jews were killed in the desert and banned from entering the promise
land because
of unbelief in God's promises, you must zealously
labor in faith to attain the promised rest of the
spiritual Sabbath, which is union
with God and entrance into the
Kingdom of Heaven, within you and around you. We sit
down in Christ to enter
the rest, to enter the rest from fighting our enemies, like
Israel entered the rest from fighting and purging their land of the
surrounding heathen peoples; only our enemies are spiritual: lust,
rage, pride, selfishness, envy, greed, covetousness, jealousy, lying,
cheating, stealing, sexual immorality, profane language, and evil
thoughts, etc. Salvation is to
be delivered and released from[url=http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=mat%206:13,Luke%2011:4,Col%201:13,1%20Thes%201:10;&version=9;] sin[/url] and be protected from evil, [url=http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=John%2017:15-19,Eph%205:25-26%20;&version=45;]

from our enemies of sin. Let it not be said of you:


For
God has not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness. 1 Thes 4:7


You
can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person..has any inheritance
in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
[Immoral, impure, or greedy people are

banned
from heaven; instead they suffer Hell.]
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for
because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are
disobedient. Eph 5:5-6
The disobedient incur God's wrath; including those who
think they are Christians.
Let
him who thinks he stands take heed lest[url=http://www.hallvworthington.com/getverses.php?search=1%20Corinthians%2010:8-12;&version=50;] he fall[/url].

Regarding judgment day, Christ said he would reject many who
thought they were Christians, even those who performed miracles in his
name.

Many
will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your
name,
cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Mat 7:22-23


Whoever commits sin practices lawlessness;
for sin is lawlessness. 1 John 3:4


The
Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out
of His kingdom all things that offend,
and those who practice lawlessness [sin],
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:37-43

2:8-9

and he trusts to his own righteousness and commits iniquity, all his
righteousness shall not be remembered; but he shall die for his
iniquity that he has committed. Eze 33:13
.
So much for grace covering all your sins until your die.


Without
holiness, no one will see the Lord. Heb 12:14



Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Mat 5:8
(Without a pure
heart, you will not see God.)

So, if we die still sinning, we are condemned. We have not
received enough grace from God to free us from the bondage of sin.

That is the task - even though we are undeserving, to
receive more grace - enough
to be freed from sin.
To receive more grace, we
must strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you,
will seek to enter and will not be able. Luk
13:24


Grace is the unmerited favor of God, God's love, therefore a
gift. A gift is free, grace is free. Grace
has been given to all men
by the Spirit of God being poured out on all men and women, since
Pentecost, 2000 years ago. By grace, we are allowed to access the
power of God to become righteous, whatever our sins of
the past and whatever our current problems. This
righteousness from God comes [but not instantly]
through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no
difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came
by Christ Jesus.
Rom
3:22-24. Eventually, but only after
the work of repentance
energized by faith, we can all become
righteous and become
justified freely by grace; for we are not deserving of the help to
change we get in the process of repentance - to the contrary, our
unworthiness is only highlighted by grace's revealing of our sinful

Touching life story.....

A young man
was getting ready to graduate college. For
many months he had
admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's
showroom, and
knowing his father could well afford it, he told him
that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the
young man awaited
signs that his father had purchased the car.
Finally, on the
morning of his graduation his father called him
into his private
study. His father told him how proud he was to
have such a fine
son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son
a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but
somewhat disappointed the young man
opened the box and found a
lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily,
he raised his voice at his
father and said, "With all your money you
give me a Bible?" and
stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many
years passed and the young man was very successful in business.

He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his

father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He
had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make

arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had
passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He

needed to come home immediately and take care things.
When he
arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers
and
saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With
tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he
read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope
taped behind the Bible.
It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer
who had the
sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of
his graduation,
and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How
many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not

packaged as we expected?
Whatever gift we recieved , be thankful always ..

The Commandments Join Together

And so at this point the last commandment joins
hands with the first. For whatever you seek contrary to God's will, you
covet. If in your mind and heart you lust and covet something more than
to obey the Creator and receive His blessings, that thing becomes an
idol to you. "Covetousness… is idolatry"
(Colossians 3:5). Then, whatever you idolize you put in place of the
true God. And you break the first commandment: "You shall have no other
gods before me" (Exodus 20:3). The Apostle Paul said: "Do you not know
that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's
slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience
leading to righteousness?" (Romans 6:16).

When you begin to covet material things, you "serve" them. You spend
your time, your energy, your money for these things. In such a
situation, you have neither time nor energy to really study the Bible,
or to spend an hour in earnest prayer before the One who gives you life
and breath. And you find yourself being stingy and jealous of the money
you owe your Maker to finance the proclamation of His truth. By this
simple process, the material things you lust for and covet become your
actual "god." For you truly serve and worship them—and find in your life
little time, strength and wealth with which to serve the true God with
all of your heart, strength and mind.

Do you see? Covetousness is a terrible thing—for it cuts you off from
the fellowship and blessings and love of the great God of heaven who
made all that is—but intended that this material creation be used in His
service and for His glory. And, in practical daily life, covetousness
violates the basic principle of the way of life set forth by all the
commandments of God and by Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus summarized this
principle when He said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive''
(Acts 20:35).

In learning to lovingly, sincerely and intelligently serve your
fellow man, and to serve and worship the true God, you will find the
only real sense of fulfillment and joy in this life. And in tomorrow's
world, you will be given eternal life and glory in a divine government
literally based on the Ten Commandments—the true way of love, of giving
and serving your fellow man, and of worshiping and exalting the living
God who gave these commandments for our eternal good.


The New Commandment of Jesus

Many teach that
Jesus Christ substituted some sort of "new" commandments to take the
place of the Law of His Father. What is the Truth?
Are the Ten Commandments still to be obeyed?

This is an age of rebellion against all law
and constituted authority. Nations and governments are being
overthrown, and homes and schools thrown into chaos by various forms of rebellion.


A revealing insight into modern man's reaction to the phrase in the
Lord's Prayer "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done" was given by an Ohio
minister several years ago, who wrote: "We do not mean it. We don't
like authority, nor will we give in easily even if He is the King
of heaven… It is all too obvious that most men over most of the years
have prayed earnestly: 'Thy kingdom not come, my will
be done.'"


The Ten Commandments Abolished?

In the previous chapters of this booklet, we
have explored the positive application of the Ten Commandments to every
aspect of our personal lives as living, active laws.
But today, many professing ministers and Bible teachers are wrongly
proclaiming that the Ten Commandments are "done away"—as they say—or
that they have been replaced by the "new"
commandments of Jesus.

What are these "new" commandments? Do they replace or contradict the
Ten Commandments? What does the Bible reveal
on this important subject?

First of all, let us notice one of the all-important purposes for
Jesus Christ's coming to this earth in the human flesh. Isaiah
prophesied of Jesus: "He will exalt the law
and make it honorable" (Isaiah 42:21). Here we find that Christ came not
to abolish the law, but to "magnify" it (KJV).

To exalt, or to magnify, has just the opposite meaning of
changing or abolishing something. It means to reveal in the
most minute detail—to enlarge upon. Certainly the life and
teachings of Jesus do just that with the Father's law.

Jesus said: "Do not think that I came to
destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but
to fulfill" (Matthew 5:17). Jesus did just what these words imply. Both
in His life and teaching, he fulfilled the law. He magnified
it by His perfect example. He filled it to the full, passing
beyond the mere letter to observe even the minutest spiritual intent and
purpose of the Father's perfect law.

Those who knew Him as a teacher could never charge Him with having
substituted the traditions of men for the commandments of God. He obeyed
the Ten Commandments in word and in deed. He taught and lived them as
the perfect way of life.

He said: "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least
of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the
kingdom of heaven: but whoever does and teaches
them [even the "least" commandments], he
shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven" (Matthew 5:19).

Certainly, we should all aspire to be "great" in God's Kingdom. For
we should want to overcome as much as we can, and have the opportunity
to serve the most we can! Therefore, we should earnestly and fervently
strive to do and teach even the "least" of God's commandments. Do you
think the Sabbath commandment is "least"? If so, you had better do and
teach God's Sabbath just as He commanded,
following Christ's perfect example in keeping holy the seventh
day—not the "day of the sun"!


The Way to Eternal Life

When a young man came to Him asking the way to
eternal life, Jesus said: "If you want to enter into life, keep
the commandments" (Matthew 19:16–18).

The young man asked, "Which?"

Jesus answered: "'You shall not murder,' 'You shall not commit
adultery…'" and proceeded to list several of the Ten Commandments.
Jesus Christ knew the way to salvation! He
said that way was obedience to the law of God the Father and surrender
to His will.

Jesus declared: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall
enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will
of my Father in heaven" (Matthew 7:21).

Far from abolishing the Ten Commandments, Jesus obeyed
them (John 15:10). Christ was the "light" that God sent into the world
to show men how to live. After His death and
resurrection, Christ sent the Apostles out with this command: "Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them
to observe all things that I have commanded you"
(Matthew 28:19–20).

The Apostles had been there when Christ told the young man: "Keep the
commandments." They had heard Him magnify the commandments of God in
what is called the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7).

The Apostles had witnessed the obedience of Christ to the
Ten Commandments, and knew that His was the perfect example. Therefore,
when Jesus Christ sent them out to every nation with the order to teach
them all things He had commanded them, there
could be no possible doubt in their minds but that this included the Ten
Commandments of God.

Obedience to the Ten Commandments, then, was the very basis
of the teaching of Christ and of His original Apostles. But what about
the "new" commandments of Jesus? Did they not alter or abolish the
necessity for literally keeping the Ten Commandments that were revealed
in the Old Testament?


A "New" Commandment

Actually, in spite of what many think, there
is only one place in all the Bible where Jesus said He was giving a
"new" commandment. The other references—by the Apostle John—are to the
exact same principles, as we shall see.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I
have loved you, that you also love one another. By this
all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for
one another" (John 13:34–35).

Jesus gave this "new" commandment during the last night of His
physical life on earth. He had—by teaching and example—already shown the
disciples that keeping God's commandments was simply an expression of love.


We show real love toward God when we truly worship and obey, allowing
no other "gods," idols, pictures or anything
else to come in His place, and always honoring His name and keeping holy
His seventh-day Sabbath—which He made holy, and which Jesus and the
Apostles always kept! And we show love to those around us when we
zealously obey the last six commandments.

Christ had already summarized God's law into the two great
principles: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind… You shall love
your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:37, 39). In fact, in the latter
part of this summary of God's law, Jesus quoted directly from the Old
Testament (Leviticus 19:18)!

What, then, was "new" about Jesus' command to love our neighbors?

The answer is plain. The principle of loving our neighbors
was not new, but Jesus' magnification
of that principle in His own perfect life shed a completely new
light on the spiritual intent and depth of this commandment.

Remember Jesus' emphasis—"As I have
loved you, that ye also love one another."

Jesus' own perfect example of love
and service was the greatest and most
meaningful magnification of the love of neighbor as commanded by God. In
His life, He demonstrated how that love
actually functions in day-to-day life.


How to Love Your Neighbor

Three times the Divine voice broke the usual
silence of the heavens in announcing the satisfaction of God in the life
of Jesus. Even the Roman Procurator, Pontius Pilate, declared: "I find
no fault in Him" (John 19:4).

This was because Jesus lived a life of giving
to others. Whether in His constant teaching of the multitudes, His
healing of the sick, His feeding of the hungry crowds or in an act of
humility such as washing the disciples' feet, He was always giving
of Himself.

This loving and giving Jesus Christ also said to the religious
leaders of His day, "Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the
condemnation of hell?" (Matthew 23:33).

Are these strange words from a man of love?
No. Rather, they are manifestation of how perfect love
sometimes says and does things for the good of others which at the time
they may not appreciate.

Jesus loved these Pharisees! It was in love that He thundered
these words to wake them up from a life of religious hypocrisy and
perversity that was damning their souls. Remember, it was also for these
same Pharisees that Jesus died. It was for
these men and others like them that Jesus prayed: "Father, forgive
them, for they do not know what they do" (Luke 23:34).

It was in that perfect, understanding love that Jesus withdrew
Himself occasionally from the multitude to rest, to meditate or to pray.
For He knew that only by keeping close to the Father and being an
instrument in His hands could His human presence and teaching enrich the
lives of others.

Jesus did not just act like He loved
others. He did love them with a perfect love.
Through God's Holy Spirit within Him, He desired from the heart
to love and serve His fellow beings for their highest good.

He literally lived the words Paul later showed He uttered: "It
is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts
20:35). In this way, His command that men love one another "even as
I have loved you," certainly does become a "new" and more
all-encompassing command in governing human relationships.


Did Jesus Literally Obey the
Ten Commandments?

Many religious people think that Jesus had a
sentimental type of "love" in His heart, but that He did not really obey
God's commandments literally.

The truth is that Jesus Christ kept and obeyed
every one of the Ten Commandments in the letter and
in the Spirit—just as His followers today should do. As we have already
seen, He declared that He had obeyed the Father's commandments
(John 15:10).

To make it perfectly clear, Jesus Christ never had another
god before the true God. He never committed idolatry, or
blasphemed God's name. Jesus kept holy the Sabbath that God had
made holy and often worshipped in the synagogue on that day as was His
custom (Luke 4:16).

Jesus honored His parents, and He never killed,
committed adultery, stole, lied or coveted. He set us an example,
that we should follow in His steps (1 Peter 2:21).

Today, a true Christian is one so surrendered to God that
Christ is actually living His life in that person through the
indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. For the Apostle Paul said: "I
am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh I live by
the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave
Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20, KJV).

A true Christian should not only have faith in Christ, but
should live by the very faith of Christ placed
in him by the Holy Spirit. Christ—through the Spirit—should literally
be living in the true Christian. Remember,
Christ will live the same life in you today
that He did 1900 years ago—setting an example. "Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).

Jesus, in His flesh, "was in all points
tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). Tempted,
yes, but in His fleshly life He obeyed the Ten
Commandments. Dwelling now in His true disciples through the Holy
Spirit, He will keep the commandments in them.


It is Christ's love. It is His power in
us that can keep the spiritual law of God. For Jesus Christ was,
and is, obedient to God the Father.


Did John Give a "New"
Commandment?

In an epistle of John—the Apostle Jesus
loved—we also find reference to a "new" commandment.

"Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment
which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word
which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment
I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the
darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. He who
says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until
now" (1 John 2:7–9).

Here the Apostle refers his flock first of all to the "word" of God
which they had from the beginning. But then he mentions one "new" thing.
He proceeds to explain this is the deep spiritual love which brethren
in Christ should have for one another. There is simply no room
in this love for hate, envy or malice.

But does this Christian love "do away" or change
the Ten Commandments of God?

Of course not!

It only emphasizes and magnifies the personal love
Christians must have toward their fellow men. This love goes far
beyond the letter of the Ten Commandments—but by no means
replaces them!

As John wrote in his second epistle: "And now I plead with you, lady,
not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have
had from the beginning: that we love one another. This is love, that we
walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you
have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it" (2 John vv. 5–6).


Here John defines Christian love as keeping
the commandments!

We are not just to love the persons of God and Christ. We
are to love their way—their very character—which
is expressed in the Ten Commandments. Christ not only taught
obedience to the commandments, He lived
them!

And so John adds: "Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the
doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of
Christ has both the Father and the Son" (v. 9).


What the "New" Commandments
Actually Teach

When we examine the positive side of the "new" commandments, we find
that they simply reinforce and make more binding the
old! They outline a way of love—of giving—of
serving, which can only be attained through Christ Himself
living in us.

In perfect unselfishness, we are to learn to love others as
Jesus loved us. That is New Testament
doctrine! It is far more binding than the
letter of the commandments stated in the Old Testament.

But it does not replace them. Rather, it
magnifies them to their full spiritual intent. And these "new"
commandments themselves refer to the perfect magnification in the life
of Jesus.

And Jesus obeyed the Ten Commandments literally
in spirit as well. He is to be our "light," our example.

Describing the principle of how we should love our neighbor, the
Apostle Paul stated: "Love is the fulfillment of the law" (Romans
13:10). For God's spiritual love flows down the riverbed, or channel, of
the Ten Commandments. In perfectly obeying
the Ten Commandments—in their every phase and facet—Jesus' entire life
was a radiant life of love itself, and love is the fulfillment of
law. The "new" commandment He gave called attention to His perfect
example of obedience to the Father, and of kindness
and service to all men.

Millions of professing Christians have been taught that all they need
to do is to "love Jesus" or to have the "love of God." What is that
"love"? How does God Himself tell us how His love is to be expressed? At
the very end of the Apostolic Age, decades after Jesus' resurrection,
God inspired the Apostle John (Jesus' dearest friend among the Apostles)
to tell us: "For this is the love of God, that we keep His
commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome" (1 John 5:3).

Remember, Jesus lived God's law in everything He thought, said and
did. In this flesh, none of us will keep God's law perfectly. But God's
law must be our "pattern" of life. We are commanded to "grow in the
grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter
3:18)—patterning our lives after Christ's life ever more perfectly as
each year goes by.

May God help you to follow the example of His Son in obeying His law.
And may you, through surrender and obedience, develop the very
character of God. Thus, by His mercy through Christ's sacrifice, and
through your total surrender to let Christ live His obedient life within
you through the Holy Spirit, you may be granted everlasting life in the
Kingdom of God!
