John 21:15-17

What is required of us as Christians? We are to love God above all others and love others as much as we do yourself. We need to care for His sheep! 

Works without faith is dead.We cannot earn salvation it is the gift of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Faith without works is dead because we are not being living examples of His love for His creation.

Good Works with faith is the outward expression of the inward transformation of the Holy Spirit @work in our life.

Human beings are born with the natural life, called psuchē in Greek, which can be translated “soul,” “personality,” or “life.” Eternal life can be received only by believing in the One who is Himself life, Jesus Christ.

 Peter would need to care for diverse people in different ways, as Christ had done with His disciples. Peter denied the Lord at least three times. Here he affirmed his love for the Lord for the third time.

John 21:15-17

¹⁵ So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,  “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” 
He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” ¹⁶ He said to him again a second time,  “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him,  “Tend My sheep.” ¹⁷ He said to him the third time,  “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time,  “Do you love Me?” 

And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him,  “Feed My sheep. He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
