Debt. 6:5,6 “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words which I command thee this day shall be in thine heart;”-
Keeping God’s word is something that is done with the heart. To follow all the commandments of God out of duty or obligation is to be in bondage to the law. We our made to love God and loving Him starts in the heart. It is a desire to please Him, therefore if you love Him, you will keep His commandments. Keeping His commandments is not our salvation, Christ alone is all we need. But the evidence of belonging to Christ is seen in our desire to live according to His will. Keeping His word comes from the heart and we hide it in our heart that we might not sin or grieve God. Satan will be relentless in his attempts to tempt us from doing what God wants us to do. “Hast God said”, are the familiar word spoken to Eve. Yes! God has said! May we all live our live carefully, doing what is right, not out of duty, but out of love and a desire to live for Him.
