"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. John 14:15
~~~~~
We should not obey the Lord just because we ought to but because we believe Him. Because we believe that He really wants us to have "life to the full." Because we believe that His will is perfect and that His Word will not return void in our lives. Obeying God is about belief and unbelief, not about 'do's' and 'don'ts'. You do not have faith in God if you don't obey His Word. Faith says, "I believe in the unseen God--the Living God--that He had my best interest in mind when He spoke these commands and precepts and therefore I will obey them and in doing so, love and obey Him." Otherwise, "there is a way that seems right to a man and it leads to death." (Prov.14:12) Disobedience is following your own thoughts and opinions on any given subject, not weighing things out against God's word and truly seeking His will on the issue--this leads to death.
