| Profession of Love |
| “I love the Lord”(Psalm 116:1). |
| The story is told of an ancient king who made laws for his people, who all professed to love him. But among those who were loudest in their professions were some who disobeyed his commands. So, one day he gathered his subjects together and asked them if they truly loved their sovereign. They all answered, “Yes, indeed!” |
| However, when he held up a copy of his law, they all hung their heads. “Those who have my laws and keep them,” he said, “they are those, and those only, that love me.” |
| So it is with Christ’s words. He Himself said, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). And also, “If a man love Me, he will keep My words.” (John 14:23). We may profess to love the Lord, but it will be evidenced in our life by our willingness to read and obey His Word, the Bible. This will not be a difficult thing when real love is the motive behind it. “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous” (1 John 5:3). Is your love for the Lord motivating you to live according to His Word? |
