"The supreme test of love is the desire and effort to please the one loved, and this is measured by comformity to their known wishes. Love to God is expressed by obedience to His will. Only One has perfectly exemplified this, but we ought so to walk even as He walked (1 John 2:6). Simple but searching is that word of His, "He that has My commandements and keeps them he it is that loves Me" (John 14:21). And again it is written, "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome" (1 John 5:3). The Lord grant that writer and reader may be able to truthfully say with the Apostle Paul, "I delight in the Law of God after the inward man" (Romans 7:22)".--Arthur Pink, "Gleanings in Exodus"
