Love on His Terms, Not Yours

Love on His Terms, Not Yours

"If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15).

You don't get to love Jesus on your terms. Real love produces real obedience—not perfect obedience, but a pattern of it. Habitual disobedience without conviction proves rebellion, not relationship.

Stop calling Him Lord while ignoring His Word. If you can sin against Him without grief, you need to examine whether you know Him at all (2 Corinthians 13:5).

Either follow Him with a sincere heart—stumbling sometimes but always returning—or stop pretending your rebellion is discipleship.
