REAL OBEDIENCE FROM THE HEART ❤️ NOT FROM FEAR

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

1 John 4:18 New King James Version
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
I was reading this morning’s scripture, as well as other passages of scripture in regards to this, and I'll be honest guys, and say that I grew up believing that I had to obey God or I'd get in trouble. That obedience wasn't based on anything out of love, but on fear and terror. I think that's why I'm so grateful for the promises out of God's word, for how i have been able to read God's word for myself, and learn that obedience is not based on coercion or fear, put on a genuine love for Jesus, in which I am learning to see my obedience to Him “as a wise and loving act of trust and worship.”

I think that's why these questions from this morning’s devotional are really getting me to think about this, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them.

How does seeing obedience to God as an act of love and trust change your view of His desire for obedience?

How has God proven that you can trust Him?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has shown me from His Word on this issue, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and i pray that what i share with you will help you to see what true, real, loving obedience is. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn about real obedience from the heart without fear! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to ask this question of all of you, and I pray that you really take time to think about it. What does it mean to obey? Is your definition of obedience based on fear and terror, or on a loving act of trust and worship to God? I really pray this is something you think about, and if it's based on fear and terror, that you go to the Lord and ask Him to help change your heart on this. Maybe you're gonna need some godly mental health help to do so, but please don't be afraid to seek God's help in this area. Remember that Jesus love is selfish unconditional, and never forceful or abusive. God loves you unconditionally, and I pray that you will see that as you choose to lovingly trust and obey Him.

UNTIL TUESDAY:

HAVE A MAJESTIC, BLISSFUL, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
