We need to realize that obedience is a life principle. That means obedience isn't just a single act, or even a series of actions. Obedience is a whole lifestyle characterized by a spirit of obedience, or a habitual attitude of obedience.


We need to realize that obedience is a life principle. That means obedience isn't just a single act, or even a series of actions. Obedience is a whole lifestyle characterized by a spirit of obedience, or a habitual attitude of obedience.

Jesus, our example, demonstrated this attitude and lifestyle of obedience. His whole reason for coming to earth was, "...Lo, I come to do the will, O God..." (Heb. 10:9). The principle by which He lived His entire life was obedience. And we, as His Body - fulfilling His will upon the earth - will have to live by this same principle.

In fact if we're ever going to accomplish anything in this life for God as Spirit-filled, faith-believing, faith-confessing, Bible-toting, Word-quoting children of God, the number one principle we must live by, is obedience.

Yet it seems that when the word "obedience" is mentioned, some Christians get a long face. Actually, obedience should be the Christian's greatest joy because God said, "If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land" (Isa. 1:19).

It's interesting to note that everyone is willing to eat the good of the land, but not everyone is willing to be obedient. What a vast difference between the two!
