For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
1 JOHN 5:3, ESV
Reflection Questions
1. Do you see God's commandments as restricting your fun or showing you the way to abundant life?
2. Why do you obey God? Because you have to, because you love Him, or both, depending on the situation?
1. I find the 10 commandments to be pretty easy to follow. I will admit that before surrendering to God I did use his name in vain and find that I slip now but usually come up with something more creative and funny to say instead. Sure there are times where I might looking at my neighbors things and think WOW that's nice but I can't remember a time where I was like "I have to have that".
ReplyDelete2. I follow the 10 Commandments to show honor to God. I don't just follow them when it benefits me I do it cause God gave us these simple rules to follow and because I respect and love him I follow them.
