1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
These two verse carry on the theme that obedience is a characteristic of an overcomer. I have mentioned before what Jesus said in John 13: 34-35 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” “By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” There is perfect peace and rest in the Lord, when we keep His commandments. There is no fear, when there is perfect faith. In Mathew Jesus told us in chapter 11:28-30 “Come unto me, all [ye] that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” “For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.” We see from these verses it is really easy to please God if we just be obedient and love others as we should.
