Introduction

What does it mean to obey God? Why is obedience important for Christians? How can we obey God in our daily lives?

These are some of the questions that we will explore in this book. We will discover the meaning, value, and practice of obedience as a key to living a blessed life. We will learn from the biblical examples and teachings of obedience, as well as from our own experiences and challenges. We will also learn how obedience can help us to live boldly and fearlessly in Christ.

What is Obedience?

Obedience is the act of submitting to God’s will and commands, out of love and reverence for Him. Obedience is not a passive or forced compliance, but an active and voluntary choice. Obedience is not a legalistic or burdensome duty, but a joyful and rewarding privilege. Obedience is not a sign of weakness or inferiority, but a sign of strength and maturity.

Obedience is based on our relationship with God, who is our Creator, Redeemer, and Lord. He created us in His image and likeness, and gave us life and breath (Genesis 1:26-27; Acts 17:25). He redeemed us from our sin and death, and gave us His Son and Spirit (John 3:16; Romans 8:9-11). He is our Lord and Master, and has the right and authority to rule over us (Psalm 103:19; Matthew 28:18).

Obedience is also based on our trust in God, who is our Father, Friend, and Helper. He loves us with an everlasting love, and cares for us with a tender compassion (Jeremiah 31:3; Psalm 103:13). He knows us intimately and personally, and has a good plan and purpose for us (Psalm 139:1-18; Jeremiah 29:11). He helps us in our time of need, and provides us with everything we need (Hebrews 4:16; Philippians 4:19).

Why is Obedience Important?

Obedience is important for Christians because obedience is the expression and evidence of our faith in God. The Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please him (Hebrews 11:6), and that faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead (James 2:17). Obedience is the way
