John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Our surrender to Jesus should be based on love. How do you prove your love for Jesus? The proof of love is our obedience to Him and His word. That’s why it’s important to prayerfully study the Bible.
Our lips may say we love Jesus, but if we don't obey His Word our lives won't match our lips. Until we obey, we are only deceiving ourselves.
The promise to those who are obedient to the Lord and His will for their lives is that He and the Father will manifest themselves to them, and they will experience power from on high.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey--- John H. Sammis
