GOD’S LOVE LANGUAGE 4
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” 1 John 5:3 (NKJV).
The commandments of our Lord Jesus, are within the parameters of His Love.
The focus of God’s commandments in Christ Jesus, is our growth and expression of His Eternal Life.
His commandments in Christ are not to produce condemnation in us.
Remember in previous episode, I mentioned that, the commandments we are to keep are not the Law of Moses.
Peter, the apostle, puts it this way:
“So why on earth would you now limit God’s grace by placing a yoke of religious duties on the shoulders of the believers that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear?” Acts 15:10 (TPT)
He calls the Mosaic Laws, “a yoke…our fathers couldn’t bear”.
The Mosaic Law was more mechanic and not organic.
The commands of Jesus are organic realities which are within us for His expression.
They are infused into you as spirit and life.
He said, “The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life”. John 6:63
Anything the Lord says, is backed with His Love, Spirit and Life.
Jesus said, “For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:30 (Amp).
God doesn’t come putting a burdensome rules for you to keep. He is love!
And according to the workings of His love , the Holy Spirit has poured out the love of God in our hearts, and has produced in us the ability of God’s grace to work His word.
This means His commandments are not troubling task for us to keep.
They are the truth of His life at work in us.
Beloved, have you thought of this amazing love?
The Lord loves us so much that, the outflow of His love towards us, is what we express towards Him.
Selah
DIG DEEPER:
(Read and meditate on these: John 14:15-17; John 5:39; 1 John 3:1; Isaiah 34:16)
WE PRAY
That our choices, decisions, thoughts, expressions and our engagements in all things around us, shall be influenced by the love of God already in us.
BIBLE READING IN THE YEAR 2023
Day 6: Job 10-13
DECLARE THESE WORDS:
Many see the manifold expressions of God’s love in me. I have the ability of God’s grace and love to keep His words. I enjoy the spirit and life of the Lord’s speaking. My life is full of love and the sweet presence of the Holy Spirit.
Hallelujah!!!
