Obedience from the heart pleases God. Obedience that is the fruit of a human heart responding to his love is what God wants. God is pleased with the kind of obedience that seeks to preserve the freedom he offers in Christ. God isn’t impressed with an obedience that is rooted in keeping rules, his heart is after those who have been transformed by his love and now only desire to bring glory to his name. The good news is, God gave you a new heart that has the capacity to actually obey him.
