Points to Note
What is Obedience? In the Bible, obedience is seen as an act of aligning one’s will with God’s commands and instructions. Obedience reflects a relationship of trust and submission to God.
Beloved, obedience often requires prompt action without waiting for more details, as seen in the life of Abraham. If you want to have faith, you need to have obedience.
Disobedience leads to spiritual and personal loss. If you lose spiritual favor from God, you will lose physical favor from men. Promotion comes from above, it doesn’t come from special connections.
Obedience can make you face opposition as seen in the lives of the disciples.
Faith is the foundation of obedience and obedience requires humility.
God often rewards obedience with blessings.
