Midwest College students training. What a glory to our God and a shame to His enemy.
In John 14:23 the Lord says, “If anyone loves Me.” All religions, including Christianity, stress respect toward God and fear of God. They state that God is fearful, so man should fear Him. Religion teaches primarily these two things—fearing and worshipping God. The words spoken by the Lord Jesus, however, do not stress fear, worship, or even adoration. The Lord Jesus did not say, “If anyone adores Me,” He did not say, “If anyone worships Me,” and He did not say, “If anyone fears Me.” Fear, worship, and adoration are all, more or less, related to religion. Our Lord is not a religion or merely an object of worship. He is a living Person. (Living with the Lord, by Witness Lee, Chapter 3)
