Love one another

One of the greatest commandments is that we love good and our neighbors. The golden rule was pretty much derived from this. Loving are neighbors or friends can sometimes be hard, and knowing how to approach things can be near impossible. I am not saying netpicking because that never good. I am saying if there is a reason it needs to be brought up. When friends are doing something distructive it can be hard to know at what point you need to say something to them. I am one who will tell my friends in distructive behavors what consenquences there are to their actions, and if those action can back lash on me, I warn them that if it keeps up I can’t stay around.
I don’t do this to be mean or uncaring, but sometimes bad behavor can be so distructive that me being there isn’t going to change anything. There are several places in the Bible which talks about confronting your brother when he has sinned. I am not saying you judge them but their action. If a person continues on sinning eventually it will hurt their relationship with G-d. I am not one who believes in once saved always saved. I believe it is so much more then I am sorry for sinning but it’s turning way from that action we know is displeasing to G-d.
In Matthew Yeshua says, 21″Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ So if He is telling us this isn’t this kind of a warning to us. That eventhough our salvation is free it is not necessarily permanent to us.
We are told by Paul in the Bible not to continue on sinning also. Why would this be stressed if all we had to do is say a prayer and our salvation would be locked in. It don’t work that way. We are told to work out our faith with fear and trempling. I would say that if we continue on sinning and keep walking our own path and do not listen to G-d then we allow our selves to find our own distruction.

It is like getting CDL training you have to be there for all the training to learn how, if you miss a class you might still be able to pass it. Walking with G-d is like training and it is training for the things to come.
