The measure of our Love!

 
The Measure of Our Love: John 14:15-24


Sometimes I felt convicted about falling short of Jesus’ expectations. It’s easy to say, “Lord, I love You,” but there have been times when I’ve used those words while resisting something He was trying to impress upon my heart. The old adage is true: actions do speak louder than words.
The measure of our love is obedience to God’s commands and principles.
Halfhearted commitment can look pretty good to others, but the Lord knows the difference. We may lift our hands in worship, serve vigorously, support missionaries, teach Sunday school, and even say all the right words.... but unless we’re following God’s commands from His holy Word... the most we’re showing Him is lukewarm affection. Works don’t prove anything. Loving the Lord means obeying Him.
This is gonna sting but it is God's Word: if you do not obey the Word, you do not love God.
The Lord told Joshua to meditate on Scripture day and night (Josh. 1:8). I need to be in the Bible.
