Why Should We Obey God?

Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them;
that it may go well with you,
and that you may multiply greatly,
as the LORD, the God of your fathers,
has promised you, in a land flowing
with milk and honey.

And you shall do what is right
and good in the sight of the LORD,
that it may go well with you,
and that you may go in and take
possession of the good land
which the LORD swore to give to your fathers
by thrusting out all your enemies
from before you, as the LORD has promised.

Deut. 6:3,18,19 RSV

Weekly Meditation

Chosen Friends of Jesus

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

These things I command you, that ye love one another.

John 15:14-17 KJV
