Obedience is very important to get a blessed and victorious life but is one of the hardest things to do
because of our sinful inheritance. Our heart tends more to disobey and do our own will than to obey God and His word. Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. (Matthew 7:21 NIV)
The bible says that only the obedient will be in heaven. Is not that we have to be perfect because the only
perfect is God, but He knows our hearts. God knows when we do things by ignorance and when we insist in
our disobedience. Many times, we disobey God because we want to please everybody around us. The lack of love towards God is also one of the reasons for our disobedience, because if we really love God we will please Him. Real obedience does not care about the consequences that come with it, because is done by
love. Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them (John 14:23 NIV) Obedience is the key to have a victorious life.
God removed Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, and separated them from His presence because of their disobedience. We can lose our communion with God if we insist on following our own desires instead of submitting to God and His word. Many of us do not have a victorious life in God because our lack of obedience. The bible says that only the obedient is blessed. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. (James 1:25 NIV) To be obedient does not mean we will not face tribulations, but that the people around us will God in our lives. When the people see God in our lives, we become a witness for them and they will ask about God.
