Obedience |
Deuteronomy 11
26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse
27 the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I
am giving you today; 28 the curse if you disobey the commands of the
LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other
gods, which you have not known.
2 Corinthians 10
4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On
the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We
demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the
knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to
Christ.
Deuteronomy 27
10 Obey the LORD your God and follow his commands and decrees
that I give you today."
1 Samuel 15
22 But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings
and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD ? To obey is better
than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
John 14
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15"If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I
will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you
forever-- 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because
it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and
will be in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to
you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will
see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will
realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever
has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will
be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend
to show yourself to us and not to the world?" 23Jesus replied,
"If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we
will come to him and make our home with him.
1 John 5
3This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are
not burdensome,
Matthew 26
39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and
prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as
I will, but as you will."
Philippians 2
8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and
became obedient to death even death on a cross!
1 John 2
3We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.
4The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is
a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Luke 6
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
James 4
17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do
it, sins.
John 13
17Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do
them.
James 1
22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do
what it says.
Matthew 7
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
