  10. Principle of Abiding Through Obeying • Should Govern our conduct as Christians • We abide in Christ by keeping His commandments – 1 John 2:3-6 • We Cannot Abide in Christ Without Obeying His Commands

  11. The Secret of Obeying is Loving • Three reasons to Obey: • 1. WE HAVE TO (level of fear) • 2. WE NEED TO (level of selfishness) • 3. WE WANT TO (level of love)
