Beloved congregation, let us dwell upon the profound truth that walking in obedience to God’s Commands ensures that we abide in His Love. Our obedience is a manifestation of our love for our Heavenly Father – a visible expression of our faith and devotion. Just as a tree bears fruit in accordance with its roots, so too should our actions reflect the depth of our relationship with God. When we choose to obey God’s Commands, we testify to the world that His Love dwells in us and compels us to walk in His Ways.

Let us meditate on the words of 1 John 5:3, “This is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.” This verse reminds us that obedience is not a heavy burden but a joyous response to God’s Love for us. As we yield our hearts to God in obedience, we experience the peace and joy that come from abiding in His Love. Let us strive to cultivate a heart of obedience that reflects the Love of Christ to all those around us. May our lives be a living testimony of the Transforming Power of God’s Love through our obedience.

JESUS IS LORD
