OBEYING GOD'S COMMAND

Obeying God's Commands:
Deut. 11:18-32 Jn. 14:15-24, 1 Jn. 4:20-5:3

The people of Israel claimed they loved God, however, there wasn't obedience to His Word. Presuming upon God's mercy and grace they continued in their sinful practices. Not loving God, and failing to love others, making excuse for not obeying His commands. God's blessings do not come without obedience.

Here's what Isaiah told God's people!
Isaiah 1:18-19
18 - "Come. Sit down. Let's argue this out." This is GOD's Message: "If your sins are blood-red, they'll be snow-white. If they're red like crimson, they'll be like wool.

19 - If you'll willingly obey, you'll feast like kings.

Mark 7:6, Jesus said,
He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

1. Loving God is loving what He loves!!
The sinner, the saint, the church, fellowship with God's people, and acts of sacrifice that leads to good deeds to others.

2. Pray for passion that leads our hearts into transformation for the Son of God that makes us long to obey and love others.

Acts 4:31-32
    31  While they were praying, the place where they were meeting trembled and shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak God's Word with fearless confidence.
    32  The whole congregation of believers was united as one--one heart, one mind! They didn't even claim ownership of their own possessions. No one said, "That's mine; you can't have it." They shared everything.  

    33  The apostles gave powerful witness to the resurrection of the Master Jesus, and grace was on all of them.

God bless you this week and always,
