Obedience is the Evidence we Love Christ

Many people who say they are Christians but have no faith. Faith compels us to search His Word to obey His principles and commands.

 
John 14:15 "15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."

Fighting to defend sin such as divorce and remarriage, following the ways of the world, and negating God's Word in any way, is to deny Him.

Christ is the very essence of His Own Word.

 
1 John 5:3
"For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,"

1 John 2:3-5
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:"

2 John 1:6
"And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love."

John 15:10
"If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love."

I think God was very clear about this matter of obedience, it is not selective, choosing those things we like and ignoring those we don't like, is not loving Christ, it is loving self.

Luke 6:46
"Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?"

1 Peter 1:22
"Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart."
