Thank you for joining us for another episode of God, Law, and Liberty with David Fowler,

President of the Family Action Council of Tennessee.

Every week, we are putting culture, politics, and law on a collision

I'm so glad you've joined me for this week's episode of God, Law and Liberty and today

we're going to depart from I guess the usual format of things to launch into a little small series regarding comments made by David

There's a relationship of correspondence between our love of Christ and our knowledge of it and our obedience on the other hand.

On this point John Owen and Christolodia has written, and I admit up, I've modernized the language a bit,

but this is what he says.

That which enlivenes and animates our obedience is love. Christ's love.

Christ's love makes the foundation of all that is acceptable under God.

If, saith, ye, you loved me, keep my commandments,
