Quotes about Obedience

Testimony requires the nurturing by the prayer of faith, the hungering for the word of God in the scriptures, and the obedience to the truth.

Our obedience has its origin in God's prior action, and forgetting that truth results in self-righteousness, pride, and despair.

Jesus didn't come to earth to establish a new religion. He came to restore a broken relationship. He came to make the primary, primary again. The secondary activity of obedience to the law of God was always intended to serve the primary activity: to love God and enjoy Him forever. When that is primary, the secondary becomes a labor of love, a joyful, and easy burden to bear. (Matthew 11:28-30)
