What is Obedience?

What is obedience?

This is an essay that concerns obedience.  The definition of the word obedience is as follows: Obedience is compliance with an order, request, or law or submission to another's authority.  Obedience is absolutely essential to being a follower of Jesus Christ.  You thank Him for the heartaches and trials in our life.  Therefore, you are going to love Him.  What do you think?

Love God not half with God.  I am going to be careful to what I place in my mind.  Loving Jesus will affect how I feel about Him.  Share the Word.  Go into all of the world and preach the gospel.  We follow Jesus all of the time. 

The first thing that I do each day I wake up is thank the Lord for allowing me to wake up to see another day.  I also thank Him for the day before.  By the way, I hope Resurrection Sunday was good for you as it was for me.  I had a chance to pray for all of my family members.  I prayed for everyone worldwide; especially those who were died yesterday in Sri Lanka.  I also attended church yesterday as well as spend quality time praying for all of my neighbors where I live in Dayton, Ohio.

Serve Him

All of us have the capacity to serve the Lord.  I serve Him by helping others each day of the week.  I am responsible for helping others without asking for anything in return.  I know that God will always bless me with anything that I need.  I am a follower of my personal Savior Jesus Christ. 

One thing that I can say about me is that I am a doer of the Word and not a hearer.  I am responsible for doing everything that the Bible tells me to do.  For instance, I ask God to remove the desire for me to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana 28 years ago.  I have been clean and sober since May 2, 1990.

 I had given up the high cost to low living on that day.  I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.  I also ask God to be with me throughout my journey as well as my everyday life. 

Jesus accepted me in the same way that it is depicted in this picture.  I am very happy that I am a child of the Most High God.  I had to make changes in my personal life in order for Jesus Christ to accept me.  Some might say that I am still a sinner.  Some would say that I am a self- righteous man. Some would say that I have never changed.  I have changed for the better because the things that I have done in the past, I no longer have a desire for right now.

God transforms our life, and we change our way of thinking.

God’s way of thinking is not like humans.  His way of thinking is higher than ours.  God’s way of thinking is so strong that it will cause an average person to change for the better.  For me personally, I want to say that it is Him who is responsible for the things that I have in my life right now.  I know that I am not a perfect person.  I am a person who is sharing the gospel with others.  If I can change for the better, then the next person can change.  God gives us a choice.  We have a free will.  I have chosen to get my life right this time around.  God is doing for me what I cannot do for myself.  God is counting my steps.  He is risen!!
