The solution is obedience. John 15:10: "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." Can't get any simplier that this.ginnyrose

I definitely agree with Joy; what's lacking in my life is a passionate love for Christ, which comes out of a more full and complete revelation of Him. I know I cannot love Him if I do not know Him, and how I long to know Him fully! Oh to fully obey the greatest commandment: love God!

I'm praying for a greater burning in my heart for Jesus to abide in Him, to obey His commands, and simply be his servant (his duloss slave). Although I spend a number of hours daily either in prayer or in the scriptures, I have a heart that is desperately seeking a deeper revelation of Jesus.I know that most evangelicals do not believe in the doctrine of "entire sanctification" but I'm seeking this with all of my heart. Wesley taught that justification and sanctification were both by faith alone and I'm trusting Jesus to finish this work in my heart.
