And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.
Deuteronomy 6:25 NIV
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
John 14:23 NIV
You do not obey God because you fear him, He is not the boogie man, you were scared with as a child. God is Love, and out of his love we were made, in his image and likeness. The greatest of all commandments, given to us is; to love God with all our heart, soul & mind and that translates to beyond measure. So how does loving God beyond measure translate to obedience?
In the physical realm, we'd feel the most love for our parents, spouse and/or kids. Will you at any point in time hurt them intentionally or even unintentionally? We respect our parents for all that they have done for us as the best they could. We share of ourselves with our spouse and children are a part of us, we love them so much that it's hard to even imagine, hurting them. Similarly, if we truly love God beyond measure we will obey him. For disobedience hurts God and in our right senses, we wouldn't want to hurt the ones we love.
I pray that you love and trust God our Father just that way he does in you as He won for you salvation through his son Jesus and may his Holy Spirit bind you in Love and Wisdom. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
