If
you really love me, you will learn, hold onto, honor, and keep obeying what I
command. (John 14:15)
What
are your big, religious rules? Go to church? Watch your language? Give money?
Join a Bible study? Maybe you even lead a fight either for some moral cause or
against some sinful action.
Jesus
says, repeatedly, that you show your love for Him by doing what He says to do.
Someone has compiled a list of forty-nine (49) commands that Jesus issued. Have
you learned these? Do you measure your life based on them? Many people have
observed that you become what you focus on; what you love. Those who focus on
other things, like rules, or the cost of obeying God’s calling, can’t follow
Jesus with all their hearts (Proverbs 23:7).
It
is so clever that Jesus reveals - it is by valuing His instruction to you (and
by following it), that you find a loving relationship with Him, and it also is
how you show Him your love.
