“Driven By Love”

 “Driven By Love”

 

Loving God means keeping His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.  For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.  And who can win this battle against the world?  Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.  1 John 5:3-5

 

When you TRULY LOVE someone, you want to make them HAPPY.  And you CARE about their WELL-BEING.  And so it is with the CHILDREN of GOD, those who have given their HEARTS and LIVES to God through their RELATIONSHIP with His SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. The ONE who GAVE His LIFE in order to SAVE mankind from their sins.   What would make Him do that?  

 

The ANSWER is LOVE, JESUS was DRIVEN BY LOVE, and OBEDIENCE to His Heavenly Father.  And for the TRUE HAPPINESS and WELLBEING of the CROWN of GOD’S CREATION—-MANKIND.  So, our SCRIPTURE, today, tells us:  If we TRULY LOVE GOD, then we will WANT to be OBEDIENT to Him by KEEPING His COMMANDMENTS, and these COMMANDMENTS are NOT a BURDENSOME TASK for us, IF we are DRIVEN by our LOVE for God.  

 

If we have TRUSTED in Christ by FAITH, we will have the SPIRITUAL VICTORY over this EVIL WORLD.  And that is ONLY POSSIBLE through our RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ.  In other words, have we TRULY given OUR HEART and LIFE to Christ, and are we BEING OBEDIENT to the COMMANDMENTS of OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY because we are DRIVEN BY LOVE?  Or are we being OBEDIENT because of a FEAR of JUDGMENT.  When we are DRIVEN BY LOVE, that OBEDIENCE is NOT a BURDEN, and we can LIVE a TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE.  

 

Now, the ONLY ONE who can WIN this BATTLE against this SINFUL WORLD, are those who BELIEVE that JESUS is the ONLY, TRUE SON of the LIVING GOD.  Are YOU a TRUE BELIEVER, that is OBEDIENT to GOD, because you are DRIVEN BY LOVE?  If you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to God through a RELATIONSHIP with His Son, then you are being DISOBEDIENT to God and you are RISKING having an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  This is what MUST BE DONE to have a SPIRITUAL VICTORY over this SINFUL WORLD.  You MUST COME to JESUS CHRIST, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that He DIED for YOU and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be OBEDIENT to Him because you are DRIVEN BY LOVE.  Then be a VICTOR over this EVIL WORLD.  And start LIVING a TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!   Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
