Love Expressed Through Obedience

1 John 5:3

1 John 5:3

“In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.”

Insight

Obedience is the language of love. Anyone can say they love God, but obedience proves it. John makes it clear: loving God means keeping His commands. And contrary to popular belief, His commands aren't burdensome. They're life-giving guardrails that lead to freedom, not restrictions. When you obey God, you're not just following rules; you're expressing love and trust.

Reflection

What command of God are you currently struggling to obey? How might that disobedience reveal a lack of trust rather than a lack of ability?
