There are more, but I wanted to share these because they are very specific. The incentive to fulfill these commands is the love of God.
In Romans 5:5 (NLT) Paul talks about the hope we have as Christians and he wrote — “And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.”
Let the Holy Spirit remind you of how much God loves us. Ask Him to fill your heart with God’s love. Then share that love in all the ways you relate to other people.
God bless you as you put into practice these admonitions from God’s word.
Blessings, Pastor Leonard
