Obedience is grounded in salvation. The Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:7-21) are
preceded by the divine declaration: ‘I am the Lord your God’ who brought
you... out of the house of bondage’(Deuteronomy 5:6). He has redeemed us. We are to
live for Him. The Word of God was spoken to Moses before it was spoken
by him (Deuteronomy 5:27). We cannot begin to live for the Lord until we begin to
listen to Him. The way of obedience is the way of blessing. Our
obedience is to be offered in a spirit of gratitude to God for His
gracious salvation. Never imagine it is because of our obedience that
God loves us. His love for us is always prior to our love for Him.
Remember what the Lord has done for you, and your love for Him will grow
stronger. Forget, and you love will grow weaker. Loved by God, let us
love Him - more!
