Sermon Notes:
-It’s much easier to obey someone you know who loves you, as opposed to obeying in order that someone loves you.
-On what basis will you do anything for Him? Because He would do anything for you.
-The extent to which you obey God is the extent to which you know what He sacrificed for you.
