Why Should We Obey the Commandments of God?

There are wonderful benefits to keeping the Commandments of God. By keeping His commandments we prove to the Lord our love for Him. No one obeys another person’s directions or commands without having respect or love for them, unless you’re at work. The Lord keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him, and keep His commandments. The one new commandment Jesus gave was to love your neighbor as yourself. That covers all the others. When we love, we won’t kill, steal, or destroy like the devil, who encourages people to do the same. Our God is a faithful God who won’t break covenant with us. We can trust His faithfulness and steadfast love towards us. He keeps His covenant, steadfast love, and mercy for a thousand generations to those who love and keep His commandments. His commandments have always been for our safety and protection in this world. Most people are oblivious to spiritual laws already in place that affect us because of our bad actions and bad behavior. God wrote the program way back when the devil gained authority over the earth. So if we follow the program (His commandments), we position ourselves for victorious living.
