What does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God and live in a way that pleases Him, and that you Love and serve Him with all your heart and soul. You must always obey the Lord's commands and decrees, given for your own good."
It is very comforting to know exactly what the Lord expects of us, His requirements! Knowing this makes it so much easier to conform and then judge our actions against His standard. In school exams are given to test what we have learned and give us feed back on our status. Before practicing most professions you are expected to pass an examination of competency. Before you can take care of the public you need to know what is required and to be prepared. In the same way it is important to know God, His Word and THE LORD'S REQUIREMENTS.
What does God require of you? Will you pass His test for your life? Do you even know His requirements, commandments and decrees? Remember the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. Jesus Christ requires that you reverently fear Him. This means that you will walk in His way and love Him with all your heart and soul. You are to serve the Lord with all your mind and being. You must know and keep all His commandments and statutes and when you fail you must confess your sins and ask for His forgiveness.
How do we know if we are living up to THE LORD'S REQUIREMENT? It is quite simple. Did you hear the Word and then do it? Do you Fear, Love and Respect God? Are living a life that is pleasing to Jesus Christ the Lord God? Do you do this with all your heart, mind, body and soul? Do you obey the Lord's commandments and decrees? Do you confess your sins to Him and ask for forgiveness and mercy? If you can answer yes to these questions and if you digest and understand the One Truth Today, then you are fulfilling THE LORD'S REQUIREMENTS. This is why you will be comforted, at peace, and in the Lord's will!
