Intro
Mardi Gras - Fat Tuesday
Do all the sinning you can before you have to live piously, “Live it up!”
Views God’s commands as cumbersome, not fun
Why we’re talking about God’s commands
To love God and abide in His love is to follow his commands
Children obey their parents because they love them
You Are Loved
Let’s pause and reflect on this amazing statement by Jesus
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.”
Scripture
True Love: Obey God’s Commands
The Problem
We know we should love
We were made in the image of God
We want make the commands
Even from the Garden, we think we can make ourselves like God
Finding Proper Motivation
Fear of the Lord
The wrath of God is a real thing
Matthew 10:28 ESV - And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
I know what God wants for me is the best
Delayed gratification
“That my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
To honor God
With all that God has done for me how can I not do for Him?
Romans 8:31-32 ESV - What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
Driving lessons from my Dad
Don’t look into the headlights of oncoming cars, look to the right at the white line
What you look at is what you will drift to
Now What
Come confess and receive forgiveness
Commit to God
