Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
To be able to do the words of the law is considered to be the most important thing you can do. Jesus came to fulfill the law not do away with it, so one knows if they are to follow Jesus they will be walking in his ways. His ways are revealed to us. There is no one who can say , "this is the way to walk," there is only one who can say, "I am the Way , follow me." He was not a wimp ! He was not someone who let people interfere with the plans His Father had for Him. If He was walking on some tight rope trying to keep people "feeling loved" so that they would follow Him, I sure do not see it. I see Him as someone Who loved us supremely and would not hesitate to rebuke us when our plans did not line up with His and our Father's business.
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. "Luke 10:27
Loving the LORD thy God is the priority here.
You can not be a wimp and love God like this. You must be able to stand up for your love for Him. He does not recognize secret lovers. Lovers who talk about Him , involve Him in their everyday lives , these are the lovers that He knows. These are the people who can love their neighbour as thyself, because they know how He loves their self. They know He does not put up with being pushed around and told what to do. He (Jesus) is about His Father's business at all times. There is no time that you can convince Him to take a break , and go get drunk with you. No time when you can say to Him, " I know this might not be about Your Father's business, but You won't mind if we go do this , will you ?" He is going to tell , "Yes, I do mind." He is going to tell you to stop bothering Him with junk like that. However, He is still going to love you. He is never going to stop loving you. He is always going to want to reveal to you the Truth. He is always going to want to give you Life. He will always be the Way that you need , and He never stops knocking at your door wanting you to let Him in.
