Radical Obedience – David Platt
My biggest fear, even now, is that I will hear Jesus’ words and walk away, content to settle for less than radical obedience to Him.
– David Platt –
God Enables us to Obey – AB Simpson
There is not a command God gives His children for which He does not provide the enablement for obedience.
– AB Simpson –
Guidance Demands Obedience – Elisabeth Elliot
Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the thing that lies before us today? How many momentous events in Scripture depended on one person’s seemingly small act of obedience! Rest assured: Do what God tells you to do now, and, depend upon it, you will be shown what to do next.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
Our Lord’s Obedience – Charles Spurgeon
Our Lord’s obedience was as deep as it was broad, for his zeal to do the will of him that sent him consumed him. He says himself, “I delight to do thy will, O my God, yea thy law is within my heart.” Such righteousness he puts upon all believers.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from Christ’s Glorious Achievements
God’s training is for now – Oswald Chambers
God’s training is for now, not later. His purpose is for this very minute, not for sometime in the future. We have nothing to do with what will follow our obedience, and we are wrong to concern ourselves with it. What people call preparation, God sees as the goal itself.
– Oswald Chambers –
The average Christian doesn’t have to do it – Cal Thomas
It is now possible to live a “Christian life” without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do. We have hired people to go into all the world, to visit those in prison, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for widows and orphans. The average Christian doesn’t have to do it.
