Let’s face it, no one likes to be told they must obey. Obedience sounds terribly sacrificial. The fear of meeting God’s expectations is intimidating to a new Christian. After all, God’s expectations are lofty! Committing yourself to becoming obedient is a very big step, but you will soon learn that it is completely fulfilling. I know this sounds like a contradiction, but as your relationship with God matures, your interests and priorities change because you want them to, and it is satisfying.
God’s will for your life is tailored to suit you, so you may enjoy life while you fulfill his will.
✝ He (Jesus) replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” (Luke 11:28)
