For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
Whenever I would be around someone that would cry and tell me how much they loved God, I would feel so inadequate.
My emotions would not bring tears to my eyes, and yet I felt that I did love God, but why did I not cry like they did. Was I not what I felt I was? Was I lacking something in my faith?
I began to study more on the Love of God, and found that God knew my heart, and all He asked of me was to keep His commandments.
He gave us the Ten Commandments to help us in our walk with Him.
In Luke 6:31. we are told: Just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
Matthew 22:39. He told us to love your neighbor as yourself.
The commandants are not burdensome, as God tells us, but laws to keep us in a right relationship with our Heavenly Father.
So to love God as He commanded, is not in words, or in tongue, as some believe, but in deed and truth. Keeping His commandments is evidence of our love for God.
