“If you love me, keep my commands."

I want to apologize for not blogging the past two days.  Let get back into it.

John 14:15-21 NIV
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

Verse 15 sums up what I learned today.  I obey out of the motivation of Love.  When I disobey it means I love myself or some thing more than God.  That is idolatry.  Scripture is clear that we are to have no other god's before him.

God Bless.
