Obedience From Love

Jesus proved on the cross that He is God and that He loves us more than we love ourselves. When we turn our relationship with Him into rules and rituals instead of resting in that love, we end up either conceited or defeated, judging others or rejecting God, but He keeps meeting us where we are and inviting us to trust Him and go home with Him.

God's love for us doesn't wait on our performance; He has always loved us, even when we don't trust or honor Him. Once we truly grasp how deeply He loves us, trusting Him with our worship, our marriages, our money, and our service stops being a burden and becomes the natural response.
