One of the most exciting shifts in a Christian’s life is understanding that God is love (see 1 John 4:8) and that His commands are motivated by love! This means all His commandments are for our blessing, protection, and well-being. Why is this significant? Because many think God’s commands are heavy, burdensome, and hard to follow rather than a pathway to peace and protection.
God‘s love is perfect and unconditional. No one can earn it, and we are called to abide in it continually. Amazingly, Jesus tells us exactly how to do this in the gospel of John 15:9-10.
““As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:9–10, NKJV)
Jesus taught that He kept the Father’s commandments, which caused Him to abide in the Father’s love! Jesus reveals that we also abide in His love when we keep God’s commandments!
This should change how we view God’s commandments. Instead of running from them, we should be running to them! Instead of seeing them as a burden, we should see them as a relief.
Listen to the Psalmist as he shares his view of God’s commands!
*“And I will delight myself in Your commandments, Which I love. My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, Which I love, And I will meditate on Your statutes.” (Psalm 119:47–48, NKJV)
Let’s shift and be determined to abide in God’s love by viewing His commands differently.
PRAYER
Father, help me to "see" Your commandments as a pathway to abide in Your love. Break all false ideas about Your commandments so I can abide in Your love fully for Your glory! Thank you Jesus!
