Freedom is very appetizing to our stomachs. But we can't stomach obedience,
which gives birth to freedom. God gives me freedom. But he says, "If you love
me, keep my commandments." We don't like being told what to do. But some
I
of us don't know what that keeping God's commandments shows we love him,
or they just don't care. Actions speak louder than words. Obedience is the
hardest test given. These are the commandments: (Exodus 20: 3-17) Thou
shalt have no other god's before me. Thou shall not make you any graven image,
or anything that is in heaven above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
Thou shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a
jealous God, punishing the children of the fathers unto the third and fourth generation
of those who hate me. But showing love to a thousand generations of them that love
me and keep my commandments.
Thou shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. Remember the Sabbath
day and keep it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh
day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shall not do any work, you, nor your
sons or daughters, or your manservant nor maidservant, nor your cattle, nor the stranger
within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea,and
all that is in them, and he rested on the seventh day. Wherefore the
Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Honor your father
and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which
the Lord your God give you. Thou shall not kill. Thou shall not
commit adultery. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not bear false
witness against thy neighbor. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's
wife. Nor his manservant nor maidservant, nor his ox or donkey,
nor anything that is your neighbor's. (Exodus 20:3-17). Obedience
is the hardest test given. Given by the Lord God Almighty. It's given to
us to see if we love God. To see if our love for him comes before
and overpowers pleasing ourselves. That's what makes obedience
the hardest test given: dying to ourselves.
