Faith and obedience go hand in hand. What leads us to obey God is the fact that we trust Him. If you don’t trust him, you won’t obey Him. Faith is a choice. Obedience is a choice. Every time we do something just because God “said so” we are acting in faith.
Main Points:
1. By faith we believe in the Word of God. This faith leads us to submit ourselves in obedience to our Savior. We obey because we truly believe. A lack of faith leads to a lack of obedience.
2. We must admit that it’s not always easy to obey. It’s also not always easy to believe. Yet, this is what God calls us to. It’s easier to obey when we can picture how God will bless our obedience, but so much harder when we don’t see the point of it. God does not always reveal the why behind his call to obedience.
3. All God requires of you is to keep putting one foot in front of the other as you walk the walk of obedience. Your steps of obedience is the proof of your faith in God.
