John 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

Christ is not a law unto Himself as many like to think they are but is part of the Trinity. In order for the Trinity to be the truth they have to agree on and about everything.

What Christ hears, not from men but from God the Father, He retells and uses to show others.

Christ is not seeking to puff Himself up but to lift up the name of Christ instead. When we get to hear what Christ has said, we can be sure that those words came from God and not just from His own lips.

John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

If God did not work on Sabbath days I think the word would fall apart!

God rested on the seventh day to give us direction and a time to remember Him. It did not mean He did absolutely nothing on that day!

God the Father, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit continue to work each day as required; but all three encourage us to rest on the Sabbath to remember them by.

Do not let go and expect God to do everything but do give God control and expect Him to give you work!

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.
