Anyone can profess their love, but true love is
proven with action, and with Christians, it is born out of obedience
to the commands of Jesus. You see, our Savior demands obedience from
those who have been saved and are part of His church. Mankind loves
rewards but there are consequences for Christians who do not obey
the commandments of Jesus, because it negatively affects your
rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Jesus judged the people in
the Old Testament and held them responsible for their actions. With all the teaching about grace and love found in
modern churches, our Savior doesn't have a different approach under
the Second Covenant. Your life shouldn't be about how much you can
sin before God's judgment falls on you, instead, your quest should
be one of holiness and drawing nearer to Jesus in the power of the
Holy Spirit. Jesus asked the people why they called Him "Lord" but
deliberately chose to ignore His commands. Living a life of
obedience is like building upon a solid foundation whereas
disobedience is an unstable foundation that will cause whatever you
build upon it to collapse. |
