John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

When you love or respect someone you normally will try to listen to them and obey them when asked something of them.

When we show others love and respect they will be more likely to trust us with things or to open up to us more.

When we listen and respect God, we will find He is more willing to share more with us and allow us to grow with Him.

Trust and obedience leads to much more than peace with God!

Jeremiah 29:9 For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the Lord.

We have always had to face people who will try and lie their way through life and just because we may know some of the truth does not stop others from telling even more lies!

God has been warning us about people who will give us stories that sound so good that they invite us to trust in them.

There is always going to be people who cannot accept the fact that God knows best and they will make their own truths to sound better.

Listen to God first and foremost because He will never lie to us.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.

Jesus would always try to encourage the disciples by being positive and showing so much love to all around Him, but He would still make sure they understood the gravity of their lives at times.

We live in a world where so many people try to deceive us in so many ways; we cannot always understand why people try so hard to be evil, but they do.

God wants us to stay firmly focused on what is righteous so we can know when others come in with lies.

Don’t believe just because it sounds good or makes sense – make sure it is the truth…
