We obey, love and serve Christ, not out of drudgery, or force, but out of love and respect.
Deuteronomy 13: Trials come that we may know what is in our heart. Fear the Lord, obey, cleave to, and serve Him only. Be separated from the wicked. Don't be friends with those who would turn you from God, whoever they might be.
Job 13: Fear the Lord. Maintain faith in whatever circumstance. Hypocrisy can't stand before Him.
John 2: Don't object to the voice of God. Have faith. Obey. Don't be a miracle based believer. Readily believe. Have no doubt. All Scripture points to Christ. Nothing is hidden from God. Hypocrisy doesn't fool the Lord.
