Our Scripture reading today is 2 John 6-7.
Verse 6, "And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment,
That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."
What is the indication of someone truly loves God? How can we know if our love
for God is genuine? The apostle John makes it very clear in this verse. Obedience
to the commands of God show that an individual loves Him. Does everyone obey
all of the time? No, we do not. Let me ask another question. Do you have a desire
to obey God? Desire is key to the application. Far too many people who identify as
Christians give little to no proof that this is true. This is due to their lack of desire to
obey what God's Word says to do or not to do. The next verse of this chapter is very
revealing. These people are being deceived by the great deceiver.
It is time for God's people to start or keep walking in the ways of the Lord. This action
proves our love for Him. He deserves our complete obedience and love.
