## Resource

Jesus said if you love me obey my commandments. In America we tend to be knowledge focused/increasing knowledge rather than action and obeying the scriptures. Legalism might focus on an outward system forcing an internal change, while obedience is an internal response which creates an outward change. We think DMM focusing on simple obedience is more a response to the Spirit’s leading rather than trying to force people to do what God says. We also think spiritual maturity is measured by love…which says something to our maturation as Christians if we tend towards knowing things rather than doing things. Love increases as we obey Jesus. These are a few of the ideas discussed as we close out this mini series.
