*Letter To The Churches (275).*

By: Apostle Eke Wilson Ukariwe.
*Obeying God's Words Is The Only Proof To Know Whether The Christians Truly Love God.*
Reading from the Scripture in 1 John 2:3-6, KJV;
3. _And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments._
4. _He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him._
5. _But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him;_
6. _He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked._
*Part 4:*
*The Christians Who Can't Obey God's Commandments Are Not True Believers In Christ.*
*Number One.*
*Obeying the Words of God and keeping God's commandments bring multiple blessings to Christians.*
God's blessings to His people, are always come with conditions, attached to them.
And the conditions are mainly, becoming committed to God, by obeying His Words, and keeping His commandments.
Moses challenged the children of Israeli, to follow the requirements of God, which are necessary for their blessings. It is written in Deuteronomy 10:12-13, KJV;
12. _And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy soul,_
13. _To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statues, which I command thee this day for thy good?_
Those are the things that the children of Israel needed to do, for their own good.
Because that were needed, to keep them continually, in God's blessings, and in God's protective arms.
But Israel were perishing, because they refused to obey God's Words, and to keep His commandments.
Then Micah, the Prophet, in his own time, also challenged the children of Israel, to keep the requirements of God, for their own good. It is written:
*He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? (Micah 6:8), KJV.*
And now, God is also asking the Church, and His own covenant people, to obey His Words, and to keep His commandments.
Because is needed, to keep the blessings of God, flowing like rivers, to the people of God.
And you can see that, God's multiple blessings, are for those, who are always obeying God's Words, and keeping His commandments.
Therefore, those Christians, who are committed in serving God wholeheartedly, are always greatly blessed.
And those blessings, are the rewards, for their love, faithfulness, and obedient to the Words of God.
That means that, those Christians, who are obeying God's Words, will be rewarded with multiple blessings, here on earth, and eternal life, in heaven. It is written in John 10:27-29, KJV;
27. _My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:_
28. _And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand._
29. _My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand._
Therefore, it is by obeying God's Words, and keeping His commandments, that will give you eternal life.
But other manifold blessings, will be coming to you, here on earth, because of God's great favour, which you will be enjoying.
Then Peter asked to know, what will be the reward of those, who left everything, to follow Christ? It is written in Mark 10:28-30, KJV;
28. _Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee._
29. _And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,_
30. _But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life._
Now you can see how following Jesus Christ, and serving Him wholeheartedly, through obedience to God's Words, and keeping His commandments, can bring to you, multiple blessings.
And truly, God will reward you with multiple blessings, here on earth, and eternal life, hereafter.
*Number Two.*
*Keeping the commandments of Jesus Christ is the only proof to show that you love God.*
Many people today, are claiming to love Jesus Christ. But those who love Jesus Christ, are not known, by what they say, or what they preach to people, but what they do.
Because loving God, and Jesus Christ, must be shown by what you do, and how you keep the commandments of Jesus Christ.
Yes, Jesus Himself told His disciples how He will recognize those that love Him. It is written:
*If ye love me, keep my commandments, (John 14:15), KJV.*
Now you can see that, to say that, you love Jesus Christ, without doing what Jesus told His disciples to do, means that, you are just deceiving yourself.
Because loving God, and Jesus Christ, must be known, when when you are keeping the commandments of Jesus Christ.
Because you cannot love God, and Jesus Christ, without loving the Words of God, and obeying the commandments of Jesus Christ.
And your faithfulness, righteousness, and holiness, are required for serving the living God. It is written:
*Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? (Proverbs 20:6), KJV.*
Truly your faithfulness to God, are measured, by the way you humble yourself, in obeying God's Words.
Because your faithfulness, in obeying God's Words, from your heart, are the measures of your righteousness, unto God.
And those are the things that will measure your sanctification and holiness, unto God. It is written in Leviticus 20:7-8, KJV;
7. _Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God._
8. _And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you._
Obeying those commandments, are the things that show that, you truly love God, and Jesus Christ.
Grace and peace, from God the Father, and Jesus Christ, be with you. Amen!
