REVIEW:

I AM ESSENTIAL

Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
Ephesians 1:4 (NKJV)

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV)

LOVE GOD

“Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” 37 Jesus replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’   Matthew 22:36-39 (NLT)

“If you love me, obey my commandments.”  John 14:15 (NLT)

LOVING GOD IS OBEYING HIS COMMANDMENTS WITH AN ATTITUDE OF BLESSING AND IS NOT BURDENSOME, –
“I GET TO, NOT HAVE TO”
