Obedience is the way that you
demonstrate and display your love for Jesus. It's through
obedience. There's nothing greater or deeper in your relationship
with God in terms of showing your love for Him. Jesus said
in John chapter 15 verse 10, If you obey my commands, you
remain in my love. Just as I obeyed my Father's
commands and I remain in His love. With obedience, there's
joy. With obedience, there's more
of God's love. Obedience is a wonderful thing.
And it's not just robotic and duty, but it's out of honor and
gratitude and worship. And it's ultimately saying, I
trust you, Jesus. You're the leader of my life.
You lead me better than I lead myself. I want to follow you
in what I say and do. What about obedience in your
life? How's it looking these days? What sins has God helped
you to break free from? What new freedom have you experienced
in the Lord? And then what sins is he helping
you break free from right now? And then who can you help break
free from certain sins, addictions, traps, in Jesus' name, with his
power in a relationship with him? Will you spend some time
this week and pray for your own walk with God? Pray also for
family and friends. Pray for your community overall. Pray for your church. and pray
for our nation. You can pray for other nations
as well, but that ultimate goal of being obedient to Jesus, locally,
internationally, in such a way that he's going to be glorified
more than ever before in our lives. When revival comes, obedience
breaks out, and it's a joyful obedience. It's not one that
brings regret or, you know, you have to do it grudgingly. It's
a joyful, loving relationship with Jesus, and our worship to
him is obedience. Also, don't forget our website,

more about Jesus. And that's one way you obey Jesus
is reaching out and leading other people to Him. We try to set
up tools and resources to help you do that. Give us some feedback
