Why do we pray? Why do we obey? Why do we read the word? Why do we praise Him? Why do we love our neighbors? Why do we forgive those who have wronged us?
Joshua 22 v 5....But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your GOD, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul....
This was the law of Moses's day, but when Jesus died on the cross for us, the law was replaced with Grace. His grace replaced the law. So now when we do the things we do, we do them not out of law, but out of LOVE for Him. We do these things because we Love Him. We are able to do these things because we walk in His love when He abides in us. AMEN!
Romans 8 v 35-39....Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written; "For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter," Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord......
Jude 21....keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life...
John 15 v 9-11....As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.......
So why do we do the things that we do? Because He first loved us, and died for us all. AMEN!
STAY IN THE WORD!
