People today do not want a God who makes demands and interferes with our personal business, especially in the areas of sex and money. Many say they believe in a God of love, not a God of law. However attractive this concept may be, it is simply not Scriptural. It was a demand that involved their giving up some things. The Bible as a whole never separates faith from obedience.
Love is no longer love if there is no obedience.
Rather than being some sort of penalty, obedience is what makes faith strong. Far from being oppressive, the commandments are blessings. God's love is His law. Without the law, God's love becomes meaningless and God Himself is merely a dead abstraction. Christianity Today, Apr 29, 1991.
