Obey My Commands
Matthew 28:20 (NLT)“20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Jesus gave His disciples final instructions to follow before He ascended into Heaven. He was clear that new disciples (those who are new believers in Jesus Christ) should obey the commandments He gave. Saying the words that you believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Savior is the start. But if you were truly sincere, then there should be a strong desire to hear from God and be obedient to Him.
- John 14:15 (NLT) ” If you love me, obey my commandments.”
- John 14:21 (NLT) “ Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”
- John 14:23,24 (NLT) “23 Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. 24 Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. “
Jesus said more than once to obey His commandments, and the proof of your love to Him is to obey His commandments. Obeying His commandments includes the benefits:
- Loving Jesus means God the Father will love you too.
- Loving Jesus allows Him to reveal more of Himself to you.
- Loving Jesus means Jesus and the Father will make their home with you.
Jesus truly is the way to God the Father. You can’t get to the Father without Jesus.
Study the written Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and the rest of the New Testament Bible to learn the written commandments from Jesus. You may already know one of them.
John 13:34 (NLT) “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.”
Be Blessed!
