Obedience

• Obedience – is a teaching about us learning how to walk in obedience to God. Yes, we are a Christian and we have faith, but for us to grow our faith and reach the maturity level God is calling us, we must be willing to connect our faith to our obedience to God. We cannot obey sin and obey God, for Christ Jesus has set us free from sin so we can serve God by faith and in truth. We must obey God and our Lord Christ Jesus every hour of the day so we are worthy. Obedience is one of those things we must continually examine, because it does not take much for us to be disobedient to God. We could have trouble in our life, in our family, in our career, with our marriage, with our finances, and with our health. Any of these things could cause us to turn and be disobedient to God. Obedience must be connected to our faith so we will not turn away from the Lord. Staying obedient to God is not easy; it requires that we always seek the Lord, that we allow the Will of God to rule over our will. Being obedient to God may require for us to undergo suffering as we walk upright before God, and not walk in obedience to our sinful nature. Obedience is required by God if we want to be blessed by the Lord. Obedience to God is achieved through us faithfully following Christ Jesus and obeying the commandments of God.
