Obedience Love
Love and obedience forever walk hand in hand.
“He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me.”
John 14:21
1John 2:28-29
“And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteous is born of him.”
We have talked about abiding before, and abide means to dwell, to live in. We must abide in the Lord.
*Your life is not your own!!!
* It has been bought with a price.
* Jesus paid the price, a heavy price for your life and we must not be forgetful of that.
So often we go from day to day just doing what we do taking for granted our lives are our lives.
We live because of Jesus.
There is a song I hear here are some of
the words “Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, All fear is
gone. Because I know He holds my future, And life is worth the living just because He lives.”. Amen
Our lives were worth nothing before Jesus came lived and died for us.
* We were all headed to a place of death, a place of destruction but because of the price Jesus paid for us we can now truly live and to truly live is to allow Him to live through us.
When we abide in Christ, when he appears we will have the confidence
and not be ashamed before Him at his coming. If we are walking a righteous life before the Lord there is no fear, there is only God’s love.
1John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
If you know that Jesus is righteous,
you also know that every one that does righteous is born of him. We must put away unrighteousness!!!!
We do not want to be in a place when He comes questioning our lives lived before Him, we want to know with assurance that we have lived a life that
was pleasing in His eyesight.
We want to be in absolute confidence that we have brought no shame to the Lord via the life we have lived.
The Lord wants to take you to a higher level in Him, but you must be willing to submit your life and commit your life totally to Him. He wants to prepare you for His coming, He wants you be
confident and not have any shame when He appears. Seek Him like never before.
Read His word and pray, build yourself up in the Holy Spirit. “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10 Do all you can do to live righteous and holy.
Lord, In the name of Jesus. Create in me dear Lord a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. I want to lift up clean hands in your presence. I want the meditation of my heart to be acceptable in your sight Lord. Cause all my thoughts to line up to your word Lord. Lord I praise you I love
you I honor you I exalt you. I give you all the glory and honor Lord for you are
worthy to be praise, in all my storms I will praise you, in all my trouble I will
praise you. I will run to you Lord for there is only you, you are everything dear Lord. I bless your holy name. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
