Reflections On The Scripture: When we abide by God's commands, we're aligning ourselves with His divine love, the same love that continuously flows from our Father to His beloved son, Jesus Christ. As followers of Christ, obedience is not out of compulsion or fear, but rather an outpouring of love in response to the immense love God has for each of us. It's about making choices that reflect that love, demonstrating our faithfulness and loyalty, just as Jesus demonstrated his obedience to the Father. This way, we don't merely abide by a set of rules, but rather remain enveloped in the profound love and comforting embrace of our heavenly Father.
