Love God’s Law for Great Peace
Love God’s law for great peace. Living for God is such a blessing. His commandments are not burdensome. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Let’s begin with some Bible verses.
“Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble.”
Psalms 119:165
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.”
I John 5:3
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
Matthew 11:28-30
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Philippians 4:13
Choose to live His way
When we choose to follow Jesus and to live His way, by His commandments, we have great peace. We have peace knowing that we are in the will of God. We no longer carry guilt and shame.
What a blessing! This peace is worth it!
Submit fully to Him
It’s worth denying your flesh. You can’t do it on your own, so submit yourself fully to Him and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you every morning.
Bear the Fruit of Self-Control
When we truly have the Holy Spirit working in us and we are sensitive to Him and obedient, the fruit of the Spirit will be evident, including self-control. The self-control will help us keep His law. When we LOVE His law we will have Great Peace!
Love God’s Law and Have Great Peace
Love God’s law because it sets you free from the burden of sin and shame and gives you Great Peace instead.
Love His law, don’t resent it. Don’t think it’s too hard or it’s not something you can do. His commandments are not burdensome. The burden comes when there is shame and guilt from disobedience. Loving His law sets you free from that and gives you great peace. Then, nothing can cause you to stumble.
Also, know that while we love His law, we are not perfect. We are not saved by our works, but by grace through faith. However, we should love His law and seek to live by it, because loving His law means we will have great peace.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:8-10
Love God’s law, and have great peace!
