Good evening to all!
This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
1 John 5:2-5
The relevance of the above picture of Jesus and Peter, walking on water is to show that part of obedience to God is to have FAITH. He never says "Thou shalt have faith", but it is still required of a Child of God. Works without faith will NOT get you into heaven and nor will Faith without works.
Reference: NKJV--1 John 5:2-5: The love of God demands obedience (see John 14:15). However, rather than being burdensome, God's commands free believers to be the people they were originally created to be: holy beings who clearly reflect the image of God. (5:4)"Whatever" speaks of the new nature of the child of God. Regeneration (that is, our spiritual rebirth) provides victory over the world which is opposed to God. The faith that overcomes the world is faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God (see v. 5) , who died for us. The one who overcomes the world obeys God rather than following the expectations of the world. If we love God, we will find obeying Him a pleasure. ***Now this is not to say it will be easy for the newcomer to Christ. It seems like I have run into quite a few (myself included) that thought as soon as I was baptized in the Name of Jesus, and received the Holy Ghost, that I would no longer want to continue my bad habits, or do the things of the world I was doing before. Even after being "born again", you are still human

Revelation 3:10-12
Goodness! This is rather a lengthy but informative reference: Christ's promise to keep the believers from the hour of trial is most likely a promise that He will remove them before the period of unparalleled tribulation. However, some take this promise to mean that believers will not be removed but rather protected, during the trial. The hour of trial is another way of referring to the unparalleled judgment of the great tribulation" predicted in Dan. 12:` and Matt. 24:21. (3:11) The Christian must always be ready for Jesus' coming. Christ's return with

Every time I read something about Christ's return and the time after, I feel excited inside. I am so looking forward to it. I just pray that I can keep this verse in my heart and mind so that I will make myself stay ready for His coming.
Good night to all and May God Bless!
