Humility vs. Pride

"The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility." Proverbs 15.33
The main characteristic of those who are born of the Spirit is humility. It was the remarkable nature of the character of the Lord Jesus on Earth, and it could not be different from that of His followers.
But the characteristic of the children of the devil is pride, the mark of Cain and his descendants.

The sheep

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." John 10.27

What characterizes the relationship between shepherd and sheep is the shepherd's voice. No sheep from a certain flock follows the voice of a shepherd of another flock.
It was common that several shepherds would gather their respective flocks to drink from the same stream. But once their thirst was quenched, each sheep would follow the voice of their respective pastors.
The followers of the Good Shepherd, hear His voice and follow Him. That is, obey.

Have faith in God

"So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God." Mark 11.22

Jesus demands of His followers to have faith in God. If faith were a feeling of the heart, how to make one "feel" the faith in God? Impossible. Jesus does not demand anything impossible from His disciples. This requirement from the Lord is concerning the faith-obedience or practice of the Word of God and nothing else.

LACK NO OIL

"Let your garments always be white, and let your head lack no Oil."Ecclesiates 9:8
The Holy Spirit is the Oil the Lord Jesus sent to His followers. What else can we say about such care? What words can we use to express the greatness of His presence? How can we explain to the world that He is His Son Jesus' Substitute?
Only those who have an experience with Him can truly value His importance!

Sent

As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world."

                   John 17:18

The Lord Jesus gave the example of faith and obedience... now it's time for His followers to give this kind of love by faith through obedience.
