Grace, Faith & Life

GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice

Obedience can be an expression of Godly love, but, obedience cannot be the motivation for Godly love.

Acts of kindness performed as a duty are not necessarily love. (They may be simply a desire for self-improvement [achievement], to fulfill perceived expectations [duty] or for reward.)

or, with the proper attitude, they may be brotherly love.

Godly Love comes from a desire which God has put into your heart. Learning how love comes from God, is the essence of the Life which is promised in the  New Covenant.
