Wicked men obey from fear, good men, from love. –Aristotle
If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15
Our obedience in serving the Lord comes from the love He has shown to us. In love He sent His Son to the Cross. In love He sent His Word to man. In love He sent His Spirit to be our comforter. In love He will save you and me from our sin. In love He’s coming back to get His people. In love He will not let sin enter Heaven’s gate. In love He will separate the saved from the lost. In love He will keep His Word.
What an example for you and I in the way we ought to obey and serve Him. It all should be done out of love! Love of the Lord!
