"... Love the LORD your God, walk in all His ways, obey His commands, hold firmly to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and all your soul." Jos 22:5
Wow! This verse tells us mountains of information. After all that Christ chose to do on our behave and how He came to save us while we were still sinners, surely our hearts would want to respond in appreciation. But this verse breaks it all down for us. It seems so simple and one would think that of course we would do these things but the Lord knows our tendencies. Our tendencies are to go our own ways so He put it all out there for us.
1. Love God.
2. Walk in His ways.
3. Obey Him.
4. Hold to Him.
5. Serve Him with all you've got.
Notice how all these actions will express whom we adore and what is most important in our life. Pray for the Holy Spirit to lead you in a baby step today that will bring you one step closer to Him.

Our tendencies are to go are own ways but God would require that are inner man would deny ourselves and completely love and set our eyes on him. From the beginning God established the Mosaic law
Deuteronomy 6:5 "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." and when Jesus was on earth and the pharisees were testing him asking him which is the GREATEST commandment he also responded with Mark 12:28-30 which quotes Deut 6. Christ sees are motives behind all our actions (whether in public or in private)by loving him wholly and completely not only shows HIM a true desire and motive to please HIM but to be with Him, to let Him stand before you and command your love, that will infallibly change you into His image.
