Obedience to God A Gift that Keeps on Giving…
Your obedience is a gift and no matter how small, makes a difference to you, your family and the entire Body of Christ.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.” John 15:13-16
Your obedience is a gift and no matter how small, makes a difference to you, your family and the entire Body of Christ.
Do you cheat yourself and cut back on your time with God just because your daily schedule is bursting at the seams? Are you spending an hour or more at the gym, surfing the web, watching Netflix, but you struggle giving your relationship with God the same time?
The road to Christian discipleship isn’t hidden, but it is often missed. (Matthew7:14). As modern day Christian disciples we are to choose to be like Christ in all our ways (Proverbs 3:6). It is wise to evaluate your surrender to Christ and comprehend what that looks like.
What do you consider yourself to be, a disciple of Jesus Christ or a Christian? If you know your answer right away, that’s good, but since you are here, you might as well read on. Your answer could very well be influencing your relationship with God, your faith walk, His provisions for you and your spiritual authority on this earth.
A Christian disciple should look similar, to how they looked in the Bible. Our culture and technology have changed quite a bit but God (Hebrews 13:8) has not and neither should the core actions and hearts of his disciples.
