📚 Devotionals - Obedience Based On Love

OBEDIENCE BASED ON LOVERosa Enid Cruz RoqueMay 8, 2015

1 John 5:3 - For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.

Relationship with God, base on Love.

If our relationship with God is based on love we will obey His teachings because we love Him. We like to be with Him, we like to share with Him and we like to learn from Him. We want to make Him happy.  He is everything in our lives.  We will think all day about Him, we will talk with Him all the time and we will show Him our love.  If we make a mistake we will ask for forgiveness and continue on with our lives loving Him and thanking Him for His mercy and love.  We will obey His teachings because we love Him. He said that His commandments are not grievous and in a relationship base in Love they won’t be.

Relationship with God, based on religion.

If our relationship with God is based on religion we will obey God following rules.  We will do things because we feel we have to and because it is the correct thing to do.  We know there are things that we shouldn't do because they are wrong and we maybe don’t do it but is following rules.  Soon you will discover that following rules will become grievous to you. He said that His commandments are not grievous and they are not.
