If You Love God, Obey His Commands

If You Love God, Obey His Commands

Today’s podcast episode has the same title as this devotion. I encourage you to go watch or listen to it. (The Agape Leaders Podcast on all major platforms)

In this passage, Jesus keeps it simple. If you love Him, keep His commands. That’s pretty straight forward. 

Unfortunately, as I talk about in the podcast episode, we seek to justify our actions with a million and one reasons why we should be allowed to act like we want to. 

In Christ we are called higher. Think about this. Jesus obeyed God every time the first time. He never disobeyed God. What was the result?

God gave Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. And every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father in heaven. 

That’s what total obedience leads to. Tell me again what’s your excuse. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

John 14:15

15 “If you love me, keep my commands.”
