Today's Scripture - 1 John 5:3

"This is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments." - 1 John 5:3

Is is only right that we express our love for God by being obedient to his commandments.  Our attitude should be like the 24 elders seen by the apostle John is vision:  They exclaimed "You are worthy, Jehohah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created." - Revelation 4:11 New World Translation

Love is the basis for all divine laws governing mankinds relationships.  Romans 13:8-10 outlines the law code and sums up with "You must love your neighbor as yourself."  Wow, if we loved God and obey his commandments, what a wonderful world this would be!
