A successful Christian walk is based on our obedience to Christ. In fact, to obey God is to love, serve, trust and believe Him. Consider how it pleases you when your child obeys you without question or resistance. He or she simply trusts you at your word and does what you ask. Nice, huh? The same is true of our heavenly Father. It pleases Him when we trust Him enough to obey.
The things have learned and received and heard and seem in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:9
My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart. If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying. Proverbs 3:1-2
Not everyone who calls out to me, "Lord! Lord!" will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. Matthew 7:21
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. Psalm 119:2
The only way I will keep a pliable,
obedient spirit
in the larger decisions
is to look to Him and to obey
in the smaller ones.
Catherine Marshall
