God’s commands are not God’s will.

We come up on New ComMANDment Thursday (Man(u)d(y) Thursday), and you don't think that it is God's will?

"A new command I give give...that you love one another"

"Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who loves not knows not God, for God is love."

So....love is not God's will? Are you really going to go there?

If love is God's will then love will certainly happen, correct? But if God commands love does that mean all will love?

And he [Eli] said to them [Eli’s sons], "Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people. No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear the people of the LORD spreading abroad. If someone sins against a man, God will mediate for him, but if someone sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for it was the will of the LORD to put them to death
