Good morning,
The Bible is series continues. This week the Bible is to be obeyed.
We have seen that the Bible God’s word. Last week we determined that the Bible is practical. The next logical step is to obey the Bible. God has given us a free will. We may choose to obey or disobey God’s commands, guidance, and will for our lives.
Come with me on a journey to explore what the Bible says. The Scriptures are always helpful, encouraging, and challenging. That’s how we grow in our relationship with God!
The Bible is to be obeyed
O B E D I E N C E,
obedience is the very best way to show that you believe.
BENEFITS OF OBEDIENCE
1. SALVATION
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
2. ETERNAL LIFE
1 John 5:11-13 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1 John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. There are several benefits associated with obeying God’s word. The most important is our salvation. We can make the choice to be saved and go to heaven, or choose not to be saved and go to hell. It is exclusively our choice.
However, If we choose salvation, that also gives us eternal life. We will be with God forever. There are other benefits we will looking at this week. These are the blessings rather than the curses.
The choices we make today, last for eternity.
What choice will we make?
