Obedience Is Love

Scripture

“If you love me, keep my commands.” – John 14:15 (NIV)

Insight

Love for God isn't just words or feelings—it is obedience. We prove our love by aligning our lives with His will. Obedience isn’t legalism; it’s devotion. Jesus obeyed the Father out of love, not fear.

Biblical Insight

Jesus says, “My commands are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3). They are meant to protect and bless us—not restrict us.

Reflective Questions

• Am I obeying God out of love or obligation?

• What is God asking me to obey that I have delayed?

Actionable Steps

Identify one command or instruction God has given you recently and take one step of obedient love today.

Meditation

Picture obedience not as a chain, but as a path—lit by love, paved by trust. See Jesus walking that path before you, not begrudgingly, but joyfully, out of deep love for the Father. Let your steps today echo His, not because you have to, but because you love to.

God bless you!
