Obedience to God’s commands is a true sign that we love God, and the only way we can know that we are obeying God by knowing his Word. We shouldn’t feel pressured into obeying God’s commandments, but instead do so because we trust Him.
You see, to love God means that we keep His commands, and His commands don’t weigh us down.
1 John 5:3 (The Voice)
And this is love: that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
2 John 1:6 (Modern English Version)
Do you love God by obeying His commands?
Do you say ‘Yes’ to all God asks you to do?
Here’s the words of one of my favourite song about obeying God, ‘Obedience’.
Lord I hear you knocking Hear your voice appealing Open the door of your heart Let me enter in and Take a centre of your life Controlling every part Come follow me on the way of the cross This is the moment you must start Chorus Lord I respond to your claims on my life With obedience to that you will ask Lord, knowing you in the way of the cross This will be my task Lord I know you're prompting Know your spirit surging Be my desire for today Make my will your choice and Meet no other voice That calls to walk another way Come follow me on the way of the cross This is the moment to obey Chorus Lord I respond to your claims on my life With obedience to that you will ask Lord, knowing you in the way of the cross This will be my task Lord I know your presence Be your call to service Be what you want me to be Serve and to your brothers Give your life for others As I do at Calvary Come follow me on the way of the cross This is the moment to be free Chorus Lord I respond to your claims on my life With obedience to that you will ask Lord, knowing you in the way of the cross This will be my task Your cross, my task
One of my favourite pieces Dorothy. Thanks😊
