Sounds simple just reading that verse...sometimes I like to reverse it. Here goes: If you don't really love me, you won't obey my commandments? I don't think so!
Our goal as Christians should be to obey and glorify God. But we are human Christians and God knows that we are just that. We are going to sin ~ its the old nature sparring with our new nature. But, God is always there to forgive. We should try our best to obey , but when we fail? Ask for forgiveness, asking God to help you to do better and start over again. Don't procrastinate. Do it as soon as you feel the Holy Spirit convict you. If you don't, the devil has a party and he makes us feel dirty, guilty and condemned. In Christ we always have forgiveness and a new beginning. That is His part. Our part is to confess and turn away from our sin and live a victorious life. I would much rather party with God than Satan. I love to feel God smiling down at me and I think he does that , especially when I've overcome a particular sin , with His help , of course! Now that is priceless.
