God Requires Obedience
Everyone loves to hear the heartfelt words, “I love you,” for it is human nature to want to be loved. But expressing that love by our behavior is much sweeter than merely saying the words! God loves to hear us express our love for Him too, but it’s important not only to actually say the words, but to show Him as well. One of the ways we can show God how much we love Him is by obeying His laws. The Bible says in John 14:15, “If you love me keep my commandments.” It’s important to be obedient not only by our words and actions, but in our thoughts as well. In Luke 11:28 we’re told, “blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.” Many times, our hearts long to serve the Lord with “blind obedience,” but we are weak. Whenever we feel the enemy pressuring us to disobey, remember that the “power to resist” comes from God. All we need to do is pray, “Lord, please give me the courage and strength to do what is right so that Your will may be fulfilled in my life.” There’s a beautiful promise in 1 John 2:17 that we can claim for our own, “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” Text: Deuteronomy 4:2, Ecclesiastes 12:13, Philippians 4:9


Bible Texts:
Deuteronomy 4:2 NKJV - "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. 

Ecclesiastes 12:13 NKJV - Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all. 

Philippians 4:9 NKJV - The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
