Bible Study - 1 John Epistle Chapter 4 - Episode 13

Are God’s commandments burdensome? What does Christ mean when He says His yoke is light and to throw my burdens on Him? Would God, who loves me and died for me, give me a heavy commandment that I cannot do without His grace and faith in His power to overcome all hurdles? Do I choose to be victorious in hanging on to the fact that I am God’s child and that Jesus, the Son of God, took on our nature, and restored it to Him? What does that mean in terms of my life’s purpose, sin and suffering? How does that translate in terms of my obligations to love all humanity who is my family and Christ’s family?
