His commands are not burdensome
June 27, 2021
As we return to in person meetings it’s good to remember that God is good. The last 15 months have been hard, and we need reminding that God’s ways, his commands are not burdensome. So often we settle for lukewarm, lacklustre Christianity but God has so much more for us. His new birth has given us life that we are to enjoy in all its fulness. We are invited into the way of faith which sees that Jesus is better than anything else. This is why faith conquers the world!

1 John 5:1–5 (Listen)
Overcoming the World
5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
