John 15:17 This I command you, to love one another
It is popular today to say that works or deeds are not necessary for salvation, but only that we ask Jesus into our hearts. Well, I am not sure how you do that without works. But here Jesus clearly gives a command. And if I am not mistaken to disobey Jesus’ command would be sin and that would lead to death. So at the bare minimum we must at least desire to do good works and make our best effort. This is what we are supposed to do. If we don’t do this then I don’t think we can say we are saved.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to love my brother and do good works. This is what you have given me to do, help me do it.
Amen
