OBEDIENCE

“The great need for obedience,” was the answer of the last of the brigadiers of the Salvation army when asked, what enduring lesson God had taught him. He said also, “If we don’t obey God, what’s the point?

I have asked myself for a long time, “What is the use of learning more, if I am not obedient to the things I have already learned? Or are you obedient to all the things you know?

In First Corinthians 7:19 the Apostle Paul says, “Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts,”

In Matthew 5:24-27 the Lord Jesus Christ speaks about people who hear his words. Now we have a choice to put them into practice or not to put them into practice.

The last of the brigadiers said also, “When you read Numbers and all these wonderful books of the Bible again, everything God promised these people were good things, wonderful things. They could have had so much, if only they had obeyed.”

We could have also had so much, if only we had obeyed.
