Will you obey?

Obedience to God’s commands is a true sign that we love God, and the only way we can know that we are obeying God by knowing his Word. We shouldn’t feel pressured into obeying God’s commandments, but instead do so because we trust Him.

You see, to love God means that we keep His commands, and His commands don’t weigh us down.

1 John 5:3 (The Voice)

And this is love: that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

2 John 1:6 (Modern English Version)

Do you love God by obeying His commands?

Do you say ‘Yes’ to all God asks you to do?

Here’s the words of one of my favourite song about obeying God, ‘Obedience’.

Lord I hear you knocking
Hear your voice appealing
Open the door of your heart
Let me enter in and
Take a centre of your life
Controlling every part
Come follow me on the way of the cross
This is the moment you must start
 
Chorus
Lord I respond to your claims on my life
With obedience to that you will ask
Lord, knowing you in the way of the cross
This will be my task
 
Lord I know you're prompting
Know your spirit surging
Be my desire for today
Make my will your choice and
Meet no other voice
That calls to walk another way
Come follow me on the way of the cross
This is the moment to obey
 
Chorus
Lord I respond to your claims on my life
With obedience to that you will ask
Lord, knowing you in the way of the cross
This will be my task
 
Lord I know your presence
Be your call to service
Be what you want me to be
Serve and to your brothers
Give your life for others
As I do at Calvary
Come follow me on the way of the cross 
This is the moment to be free
 
Chorus
Lord I respond to your claims on my life
With obedience to that you will ask
Lord, knowing you in the way of the cross
This will be my task
 
Your cross, my task
