Many confess to be Christians and to love the Lord, but the proof comes in the way that we follow His commands. God has given us specific rules that cause us to live life in the most God honoring way. His commands are not random or arbitrary, they are not meant to keep us from having fun or to make life difficult. Instead, God’s commands show His love for us by helping us live life the way that He intended for us to live it.
The world’s way of living is marked by foolishness, selfishness, and rebellion against God. In the end it leads to misery, sadness, brokenness, and discontentment. But living a life following God’s word is marked by peace, joy, contentment, and a witness to others that we truly love the Lord.
Lord, You are a good God who has given me good rules to follow. Help me to love Your commands and give me the faith I need to believe that all Your ways are for my good. Amen.

About this Plan
The Apostle John had one clear message in his letters: Love one another. In the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John, the beloved disciple encouraged followers of Christ to love God by following His commands, and to love and honor fellow believers. John’s message is incredibly relevant to us today, offering insight to us as we seek to live like Jesus lived and love like Jesus loved.
