DEUTERONOMY 10:12
"What does the Lord God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases Him, that you love Him and serve Him with all your heart and soul, and you must always obey the Lord's commandments and decrees."
Have you accepted the free gift of salvation from the Lord Jesus Christ? Have you repented of your sins and received mercy and grace from God? Are you a new creation with a new heart in Christ? Now that you have been saved, what is it that Jesus expects from you for your remaining time on earth? What are THE REQUIREMENTS OF GOD?
The beginning of wisdom is the fear, love, and knowledge of God. So the first requirement is that you fear the Lord. Show reverence to Jesus Christ. You show your fear and reverence by walking in all His ways and loving and serving Him. Do it with all your heart, mind, body and soul. You must live in a way that pleases God. You must learn His commandments and decrees, and they must be a part of your life at all times.
Now that you know the commandments and decrees, you must keep them. They are given to us for our own good, both here on earth now and in the eternal kingdom to come. If we fail to keep His commandments and statutes we will suffer while here on earth as a natural consequence. It is not enough to listen, we must learn of God, and then we must put His Word into action in our lives. Our actions prove what we believe and what we have learned. It will be clear to others and to God for certain whether we are meeting THE REQUIREMENTS OF GOD.
