OBEDIENCE IS THE TRUE TEST

 
 THE BIBLE KNOWS NOTHING OF SALVATION APART FROM OBEDIENCE.

 1 Samuel 15:22  And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in OBEYING the voice of the Lord? Behold, to Obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 

 Obedience is the True Test of our love for Christ and the Secret to discovering God's will for YOUR life.


Have you ever wondered what God's Will is for your life?  We all struggle with questions about our future. The greatest discovery I made concerning how to know the Will of God involves;

  • Fully surrendering my life to the Lordship of Christ
  • Living a life of obedience in the power of the Holy Spirit

If you are willing to Trust and OBEY God and live a Holy Life, God will reveal Himself to you and order your steps as a way of life. 

Speaking of the Holy Spirit, Jesus says, "When he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth...and he will tell you what is yet to come" (John 16:13). So the Key To Knowing God's will is to be OBEDIENT to the Guidance of the Holy Spirit of Truth.

Romans 5:19  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the Obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Is it not logical that the One who created YOU knows better than YOU the purpose for which YOU were created? And since He Loved The World enough to die for all of us, is it not logical to believe that His Way is best (Romans 8:32)?

Exodus 19:5  Now therefore, if ye will Obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

 Jeremiah 18:10  If it do evil in my sight, that it Obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

 1 Peter 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that Obey not the Gospel of God?

 To Obey; means to give earnest attention to the WORD OF GOD, to submit to it’s authority, and to carry out its instructions.
