" OBEDIENCE "

Here we are again another week has come and gone,this week we will be looking into " Obedience." I believe that at one time or another we all may have had an issue with Obedience. Disobedience is Sin, and it breaks our fellowship with with God. But, fortunately, when we disobey, God is willing to forgive us and to restore our relationship with him. Adam and Eve failed to heed God's warning. They did not understand the reasons for his command, so they chose to act in another way that looked better to them. All of God's commands are for our own good, but we may not always understand the reasons behind them. People who trust God will obey because God asks them to whether or not they understand why God commands it. Have you ever wondered, why would God place a tree in the garden and then forbid Adam to eat from it? Father God wanted Adam to Obey, but God gave Adam the freedom to choose. Without choice, Adam would have been like a prisoner, and his Obedience would have been hollow. The two trees provided an exercise in choice, with rewards for choosing to obey and sad consequences for choosing to disobey. When you are faced with the choice, always choose to obey God. It's not enough to say we believe what is right; we must respond with action, doing what faith requires. " Faith without WORKS is useless (James 2:20). This means acting differently at home, school, and church. Simply talking about Obedience is not enough. Until next Time... Jim,
