John 14:24
                      He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you
                      hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.


                    What are the words and commandments of Christ?


                      John 13:34-35
                      “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved
                      you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My
                      disciples, if you have love for one another.”


                    Christ delivered to His disciples the perfect law of liberty, the law of love. Against
              such things there is no Law. Furthermore, Christ reveals His desire for His disciples
              through the Spirit who was sent to indwell them. Whatever the Spirit reveals to be the
              will of Christ for our lives becomes the commandment of Yahshua to us. As the saints
              of God walk in the Spirit they will find themselves keeping the commandments of
              Christ.
                    Remember what we have previously learned. When Christ appeared as the High
              Priest of a new covenant, there was necessarily a change of the Law (Hebrews 7:12).
              Yahshua’s  commandments  are  not  the  commandments  of  Moses.  Yahshua  has
              delivered a new commandment. For the saints in Christ, the will of God is revealed
              through a new and living way.


                      I Corinthians 2:12
                      Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from
                      God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God...


                      John 16:14
                      He (the Holy Spirit) will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and
                      declare it to you.

                      I John 4:13
                      By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us
                      of His Spirit.


                    By sending forth the Spirit of His Father to dwell in the hearts of man, Christ
              irrevocably changed the manner in which men would relate to God.

                      Romans 8:14
                      For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.


                      Galatians 5:16
                      I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
