Acts 5:29
29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.
Hebrews 5:8-9
8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,
I don't about you... but I think we'd better obey God! HE became our salvation. The least we could do is obey HIM as a way of thanking HIM for such a gift. Don't you?
That's my challenge to you for this new year. Trust & obey our Lord & Savior. And to act upon the obedience with action of faith.

"Trust and Obey for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey".
ReplyDeleteA song from my childhood that I often still sing.
"Obedience is better than sacrifice" the Bible tells us.
Good reminder, challenge and encouragement.
What an awesome Jim Elliot quote! I have not heard that one before, thank you so much for sharing. And you are so right about obedience.
ReplyDeleteObeying comes as a response to listening. God give me the ears to hear so that I might walk in your ways.
