The reason behind obedience to God’s laws

Keeping God’s testimonies is sharing the mighty works of His hands to others. Giving Him the glory about His greatness. To obey God’s laws is to bring joy into our lives. Joyful are those who obey His laws and search for Him with their whole heart. God knows if you’re half stepping with Him. It’s either all, or nothing at all, you have to mean it following the Lord (Revelation 3:16). The bible also speaks of the Lord rewarding those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). Being human means having the propensity to be led a stray. We must invoke our will in going after the Lord like a bulldog on a bone, never to let go. God knows we have an enemy down here that wants to kill, steal, and destroy, that’s his job (Satan). But obedience to God’s laws, His teachings and precepts, keeps us in a perpetual safe place from unnecessary attacks. Meditate in His word day and night, and you’ll make your own way prosperous (Joshua 1:8). We have a part to play when it comes to the Lord’s help and to receive from Him. Our faith is the hand that takes from God. So faith is the substance of things we are hoping for, and it’s the proof of life which manifests our expectations. Our joy, not happiness, comes from within us where God is seated on the throne of our recreated human spirits.
