"Keeping Christ’s commandment SHOULD BE motivated by OUR LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM"

As we have learned & come into realization that we are all sinners and we cannot save our selves from spiritual death, admitting that we only need Jesus Christ to save us from death. Salvation is the sacrificial love that Jesus gave us. This day we will step in how to present our Love for God. It simply on how to become a follower of God.

Jesus said, "If you love me, you will keep My commandments" - John 14:5, This is the first thing we must consider in showing strong affection towards the Lord. Keeping His words does not mean that you love Him but loving Him will make you keep His words. It corresponds within courtship, wherein a man was deeply moved by his love through an infatuated feeling to someone else. Courtship helps to develop an intimate relationship between two people by getting to know well before getting in to commitment. In courtship men usually shares all of his dreams and aspiration and keep it as a covenant in order for him to get the woman's favor. In the context of John 14:15, God urge us to keep His word's in our hearts, through hearing, reading, studying, memorizing, and meditating His word. The bible is the Lord's love letter that He entrusted to us, we can see variety of stories about the lives of people way back time and their journey's, the early church, list of songs, proverbs and allegories and most of all the life of Jesus. We need to learn and apply this things in following God.

" For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. " - Romans 8:38-39 .

Keeping Christ commandments should be motivated by our loving relationship with Him. We must build a strong and timeless relationship with God. We often mislead about the essence of Christianity that is all about building a good relationship with our Creator and it is not a matter of Do's and Don'ts. Christianity means accepting the love of Christ,and being Christian means we are forgiven to our sin's and we have the ability to say no to sin. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me". As Jesus Christ was crucified to take our sin's away, we are crucified with Christ by showing His image in our lives [2 Cor. 5:17] "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. It simply means that we must demonstrate a Godly character in our life". Our old self will be replaced with new life. We must make a 180 degree turn in life, learning upon prohibiting ourselves against sinning. Learning to let go of all the things that is not under the grace of God. Create a Godly living and making it a habit.

The Lord calls you by your name it's time for you to get moving. He created us for His own pleasure, we are here to serve our Lord. He offered His life to give us redemption in change of being a sinner. What would you offer to Him above knowing all this things?
