People of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 5:1-12Намуна

Here’s another. God’s commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3-4). Except that sometimes they seem to be. Sometimes God’s commands do feel like a burden. I think it comes from fear. We’re afraid to obey God because of what we think it will cost us or what we fear we will lose. That’s the world flexing. But when we realize that nothing in the world compares to God, and there’s nothing in the world strong enough to overcome the power of God, it changes things. That victory can propel us to obey him in anything. Even when we don’t believe it!
