Walk In His Truth Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 14:23 KJV
Elisabeth Elliot advised, "Obedience to God is our job. The results of that obedience are God's." These words serve to remind us that obedience is imperative, but we live in a society that surrounds us with temptations to disobey God's laws. So if we are to win the battle against temptation and sin, we must never drop our guard. A righteous life has many components: faith, honesty, generosity, love, kindness, humility, gratitude, and worship, to name but a few. If we seek to follow the steps of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we must seek to live according to His commandments. When we seek righteousness in our own lives-and when we seek the companionship of likeminded friends-we not only build our characters, but we also reap the spiritual rewards that God offers to those who obey Him. When we live in accordance with God's commandments, He blesses us in ways that we cannot fully understand. Are you ready, willing, able, and anxious to receive God's blessings? Then obey Him. And rest assured that when you do your part, He'll do His part. The Ten Commandments were given to evoke fear and reverence for the Holy One so that obedience and blessing might result. Beth Moore Don't worry about what you do not understand. Worry about what you do understand in the Bible but do not live by. Corrie ten Boom Let us remember therefore this lesson: That to worship our God sincerely we must evermore begin by hearkening to His voice, and by giving ear to what He commands us. For if every man goes after his own way, we shall wander. We may well run, but we shall never be a whit nearer to the right way, but rather farther away from it. John Calvin God wants man to fulfill His commands as a human being and with the quality peculiar to human beings. Martin Buber Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth. Psalm 86:11 NASB Character builder Remember this: God has given us His commandments for a reason: to obey them. These commandments are not suggestions, helpful hints, or friendly reminders-they are rules we must live by . . . or else! O.
