OBEDIENCE!
“But the one who hears my words and does not obey is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation. When the floods came, the house quickly fell and was completely destroyed.
Luke 6:49 (NCV)
Main Text: Luke 6:49 (NCV)"*
Obedience to God is certainly important in the life of a Christian. However, there’s a difference between obeying under the law and obedience by faith. Under the old covenant, obedience was required under threat of death regardless of the state of people’s heart. Under the present covenant, we obey not because it was commanded to us but because of our thankfulness for what Jesus has done.
Isaiah 1:19 “If you become willing and obey me, you will eat good crops from the land.” There’s good for you in the land, there’s so much for you to enjoy. Your Heavenly Father owns the land and He’s telling you there’s good in the land for you. All you have to do is live by His Word.
We’ve been qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of light, we’re sharers in the blessings and benefit of the Kingdom life reserved for all of God’s saints, this was made so because of Christs obedience! You are blessed!
Prayer: Father, because of your love for us, you sent you Son to show us grace and enable us to truly obey You from our hearts, Lord, help us stay obedient to Your Word in Jesus name.
