We have just covered the “12 Vital & Unlock-able Blessings From God” and we learned that we can have these blessings in our life, if we obey God. The opposite must be true as well. If we don’t obey and do what God would have us do, then we forfeit these wonderful and amazing blessings. We don’t want to do that! Let’s embrace the commandments of God and not let the Devil steal away our blessings through disobedience.

Obey God

One Final Note:

Most don’t realize that “commandments” are being followed even in lawlessness. Lawlessness is a command that tells you not to obey. The question is, who is it a command not to obey? It’s a commandment to not obey God! Instead of having a heart attitude of “I can love God in this manner”, they take the perspective of “Oh, do I have to?”  You often hear that we are “saved by faith, not by works”- which is very true. But, they are getting the point of obedience confused. We are saved by faith. Now that we are saved, what is required of us to walk in our new found salvation? We have been given a gift, now how do we handle this gift? We must still obey the Law of God. If the 12 blessings were not enough to prove this, then please review the following proof

• (1 Corinthians 9:21b) “Being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,”

• (Romans 3:31) “Do we then make the Law void through faith? Let it not be! But we establish the Law.”

• (James 2:26) “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” See also: James 2:14-26

• (Ephesians 2:10) “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.” See also: Ephesians 2:1-10

• (Revelation 2:25-26) “But that which you have, hold fast until I come. And he who overcomes and keeps My works to the end, to him I will give power over the nations.”

Obey God

We are saved by grace, not of works- this is true. The question before us is “how do we act after we have been saved?” Most Christians fail to separate the two concepts. They get stuck with “saved by grace,” or “saved by works.” Both are wrong and destitute of spiritual discernment. The answer is “Yes” and “Yes.” We are saved by grace not by works, yet now that we are saved, there is a calling to obey. We didn’t earn our salvation, yet now that it has been given, it comes with guidance. Failure to head the guidance is to reject the offer of salvation. Grace and works are intimately connected. You can never be good enough. That is why there is the sacrifice of Jesus and then grace and mercy. But, you cannot remain with a heart of rebellion and call Jesus “Lord”. That is why there remains God’s way of doing things, also called the Law/Commandments. To say you can have a relationship with God on your own terms and conditions is to deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Another way to put it is this: You have been given free tickets into the city of Heaven, and it didn’t cost you thing. Now that you have entered into this kingdom, there are expectations on your conduct as you become a citizen of Heaven.

Obey God

• By Obeying God And Seeking His Will In All Things, You Will Never Have To Worry About Being Blotted Out Of The Book Of Life.

(Revelation 3:1+5) “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says these things. I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead… The one who overcomes, this one will be clothed in white clothing. And I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.” See also: Revelation 22:19

Obey God

• Your Obedience Ensures Your Place In The Book Of Life.

(Revelation 21:27) “There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

(Psalms 69:28) “Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written with the righteous.”

Obey God

We are not declaring perfection through works. No. We are declaring the need to expel the heart of rebellion. Put on humbleness in the Spirit of God, and obey Him. If this is done, God has grace and mercy for all our sins and failures. He is willing to forgive us when we are humble before Him and He is faithful to do so.

(James 4:6) “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says, God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.”

(Romans 5:20-21)  “The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;  (21)  that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Obey God

Let us not practice lawlessness, but obey and receive all the blessings of Heaven.

(1 John 3:4) “Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness.”

Now that we have learned the truth about obedience, we must continue in obedience if we want to be able to call God our Father and Jesus our Lord. For there is no salvation without relationship! And there is no relationship without loving God supremely! Finally, we cannot say we love Him if we don’t keep His commandments.
