Obedience

John14:15-24, Acts 5:29

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.” John 14:15.

“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21.

“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep my word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.” John 14:23,24

“But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than man.” Acts 5:29

Most people hate to follow rules, but God’s rules or commandments determines our salvation. We are to follow His commandments to receive the blessings that He so freely gives. So that we can have a place in His mansion that Jesus has gone to prepare for us. His commandments go far beyond the ten we find in the Book of Exodus. His commandments are throughout the whole Bible. It is the Word of God and should be treasured and sought after as much as possible. If we don’t know His commandments, how do we know what He wants from us. He has given so much to us that we should want to be obedient to any and everything He says. Study His words and live as though He is standing right beside you. Because He is!

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
