The Complete Devotional With Josh NormanSample

Obeying Out of Love

Picture someone who diligently follows guidelines and rules, not because they feel obligated, but out of deep love and respect for the person who set them. This heartfelt obedience reflects a genuine relationship built on love and trust. Similarly, our obedience to God should stem from our love for Him. When we follow His commandments out of love, we demonstrate our devotion and strengthen our connection with Him, making our actions a true reflection of our heartfelt commitment.

Practical Application: Examine your motivations for obedience. Ask God to help you obey His commands out of genuine love for Him. Let your actions be a reflection of your love for God.
