“But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:” 1 John 2:5 (NIV)
Our focus for the past six days has been of God's Word as the psalmist treasured it in Psalm 119. Today we find again, in the New Testament letter of First John, the instruction regarding the importance of our attitude and response to His Word. When we read or hear the words of the Bible taught in person or by radio, television or other recording, we have the opportunity to pay attention to what we are being taught. God's Word is meant to be obeyed and our verse tells us what happens when we obey what God has said to us. We will obey God if we truly love Him and He responds to our obedience by showing us more of His love for us. So, the promise is that by obeying God we will experience His love and we will be more of aware of His love for us. Also as we obey Him, His love will touch other people through us – that is the purpose of His love, it is for us and for others to experience through us. It is also there to confirm our position in Him. We can know we are in Him if we obey His Word.
