Hi Alex, You wrote: "Loving God is not exclusive from obeying God. In fact, love is not even first on the list of what the Father expects from His redeemed people, it's in the middle, kind of like a cementing agent for the other 4 "duties" of a saved person." Loving God most certainly is at the top of the list! Please read, Matthew 22:37-38; Mark 12:28-30; and, Luke 10:25-28. John |

John, Loving God means little outside of obedience. It speaks of even less. Obedience is the outward expression demanded of the inward love desired. Deut. 6:5-6. Alex |

I have less of a problem when you state it that way. "That which does enliven and animate the obedience whereof we have discoursed, is love. This Himself [Christ] makes the foundation of all that is acceptable unto him. 'If,' saith He, 'ye love Me, keep My commandments,' John 14:15. As He distinguisheth between love and obedience, so He asserts the former as the foundation of the latter. He accepts of no obedience unto His commands that does not proceed from love unto His person. That is no love which is not fruitful in obedience; and that is no obedience which proceeds not from love. So He expresseth on both sides: 'If a man love Me, He will keep my words;” and, 'he that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings,' Verses 23, 24." --John Owen |
