loving obedience

Affection Based obedience is the strongest type of obedience because it flows from experiencing Jesus' affections. It is the most consistent obedience because a lovesick person will endure anything for love. People in love are untouchable. Freedom is found in uniting with Christ.

So what? It says we love God by obeying his commands in John 14, not because we have to but because we love him so much that we wouldn't have it any other way. Love requires the wholehearted pursuit of obedience in both our attitudes (purity, humility) and actions (service). How are you going to display your loving obedience today to God as well as to others (your parents, friends, and Loved ones).
