So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:27, ESV
God made us, so He absolutely has the right to set the standard, tell us what is best for us, and how we ought to live.
We should listen and obey our Creator and love Him for loving us so much.
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
2 John 1:6, ESV
We show we love God by following His commands, and what are His commands:
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:36, ESV
The hard truth is that full belief in Jesus means obedience to Jesus. It is not strictly about rules but knowing how He has said to love Him.
“Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
John 14:21, ESV
Who has Jesus’ commandments?
Those who believe in the sacrificial God-Man Jesus who rose again; those who love God by loving others and love His Church.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26 ESV
Is God happy with you?
He is if you are following His Son and obeying all He has commanded (Matt. 28:18-20).
Follow Jesus, and the Lord will smile at you.
