This Thing Called Obedience (Part Two)

Obedience demonstrates a profound and tangible commitment to God. Believers actively choose to observe His commandments, driven not by duty or obligation but by joyful devotion. In John 14:15, Jesus makes a simple yet profound declaration, “If you love Me, keep My commands.” This encapsulates the essence of our relationship with Him. It suggests that genuine love for Jesus is manifested through our obedience to His teachings. In maintaining the abiding relationship (John 15:1-11), that’s what disciples do!
