God Also Commands

It is great to talk about how great God is. It is absolutely wonderful to discuss all the ways He demonstrates His magnificent love for us. But, sooner or later, we have to talk about His commands.

Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy…
Hebrews 12:14


People often act in a way that makes the first part of this command very difficult, and I often live contrary to the second part. Just the same, we must seek God’s grace and strive to meet the standard. We do this because we love Him, not because it will make Him love us more.
