The Power of Love
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous” (1 John 5:3).
“If ye love Me, keep My commandments”(John 14:15).
Someone has said, “If you could bring a bird to love you better than it loved the open sky you would not need a cage.”
Christians in love and communion with the Lord Jesus Christ do not need a cage to keep them from flying away into the world and its sinful attractions. They are happily separate from the world and they are the willing, joyful servants of the one “Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father” (Galatians 1:4). The desire to serve Him, devotedness in service, and, above all, perseverance and continuance in service, all spring from this source, “The love of Christ constraineth us” (2 Corinthians 5:14). Are you truly in love with your Savior and Lord? If you are, “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Luke 12:34).
