There are sheep and goats, wheat and weeds. There are “Friends of Jesus” and “Enemies of Jesus”.
Jesus told us who His friends are: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.” We need to know! Are those who willfully disobey Him “Enemies of Jesus”?
Many claim “I am a friend of Jesus.” It is not enough to simply say “I am a friend of Jesus.” Judas spent years pretending to be a “Friend of Jesus”!
Jesus Decreed The Only Church He Founded Into Being by saying to one man, one time:
“Verily, verily I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
The obedient “Friends of Jesus” obey. They are in, and obey, The Only Church Jesus Founded.
Some honestly do not know much about The Only Church Jesus Founded. They simply do not know that The Disciples were the First Catholic Bishops.
Many, “through no fault of their own”, actually do not know that His First Bishops founded Catholic Churches from India to Spain. They do not realize that those Churches were Catholic Churches that sent Catholic Representatives to Catholic Councils called by Catholic Successors to Peter for hundreds and thousands of years!
“Friends of Jesus” have a duty. When we see those who knowingly disobey, we must remind them of who gets to Heaven: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
The enemies of Jesus do not want to obey. “I believe, so I am saved! Jesus has to let me into Heaven!”
Jesus loves all enough to have Decreed The Only Church He Founded into being! His obedient sheep want all to have the everlasting joy of being among “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
So, Catholics encourage all to be more obedient.
