What Is The Point?: Discovering Life's Deeper Meaning And Purpose - Plot & Excerpts
There is no such thing as loving God without seeking to obey Him—not because He is a tyrant, but because He knows us best and He knows the best way to bring us forth in love. His commandments are the pathway to love and life. He said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments. . . . He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. . . . If anyone loves Me, he will keep my word” (John 14:15–23). “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word.” What could be confusing about that statement? Three times, within several verses, Jesus makes it clear how He defines loving Him. From Genesis to Revelation He makes it clear. Yet it is strange how nebulous and how blurred many are on this definition. There is no such thing as loving Jesus without seeking to obey His words. It is a deception. It is a religious figment of someone’s imagination and nothing more than religious sentiment. The Holy Spirit will not bare witness to it on the last day, and Jesus will not buy it at the judgment seat.
