Have you ever wondered... Why God asks you to obey him? If obedience will ever become easier and more natural for you?
Sometimes it seems that rules are posted everywhere to limit our
fun. "No running." "No diving." "Shirt and shoes required." Some people
equate Christianity with a list of rules and regulations. They assume
that God surrounds his children with rules just as the fun is getting
started. These verses clarify that God's commands aren't meant to limit
you. On the contrary, God's instructions free you. His motivation is
love, and his goal is to enhance your life, not limit it.
When you live within God's boundaries, you're free--free to enjoy your life without worry, free to approach God without guilt, free to begin relationships without pain. Because of his blessings, obedience becomes fun. You obey not because you have to, but because you want to.
But now you are free from sin and have become slaves of God. This brings you a life that is only for God, and this gives you life forever
(Romans 6:22)
