The Holy Name of Jesus (Luke 2:15-21)

Faith is always followed by obedience.

Orthodox depiction of the circumcision and naming of Jesus When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them…

The English words disciple and discipline are linguistically related terms, revealing an important connection between the two concepts.[1] A disciple refers to one who is devoted to learning from another, with a commitment to practice their teachings and example. On the other hand, discipline involves the process of mastering what has been learned, with the goal of internalizing the teachings to…

Why the Spirit Sanctifies the Elect

In exploring the profound question of why the Spirit sanctifies the elect, a journey through Scripture, particularly the teachings of Peter, offers enlightening insights. The heart of this theological exploration lies in understanding the sanctification of the elect as “for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood,” a statement deeply rooted in Christian tradition and Scripture. Here…

When we read God's word and hear His truth, we’re responsible for how we respond to His instructions. If the Lord convicts us about a sin and points us towards the truth, and we don’t like it, we could be tempted to rationalize our disobedience. This is displeasing to God and if we continue in this path we become hard hearted and less sensitive to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and the result would be painful. Israel walked in disobedience and therefore wandered in the desert for 40 years. Let’s learn from their mistakes and ask God to give us an obedient heart.

“Today when you hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.” Hebrews 3:15

Live By Obedience, Not Emotion

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

"God gave birds wings, but he didn't forbid them from flying. He blessed cheetahs with speed, but he never forbad them from outrunning their prey. He did, however, give humans a brain and insisted that they not use it."

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

2 Corinthians 10:5

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

I Am Coming to You (John 14:18-31)

Love and obedience go hand in hand.

Upper Room, by Gail Meyer “I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me, and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love…

Righteousness and Sin in the Life of the Christian

All Christians are simultaneously justified before God and continue to struggle with sin. Both are true. We who have trusted in Christ as Savior have received judicial forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43; Eph 1:7), eternal life (John 10:28), and the gift of God’s righteousness (Rom 5:17). Because God’s righteousness has been imputed to us, He declares us righteous in His sight. God’s righteousness is…

God is working on each of us slowly and steadily. He's not expecting perfection overnight . We all make mistakes, stumble and sometimes fall. God is patient with us, He loves us deeply. What He truly wants from us is a heart of trust and obedience. If we truly accept Jesus as our Saviour, then we must be willing to leave our will, leave the life of disobedience and trust God’s will for our lives. We must be assured that His ways are always better than our ways. Every time we choose to obey – even when it costs us dearly – we come out the other side far more grounded and strengthened to do the next thing God has for us. And those who choose their own way miss out on His blessing and unfortunately reap the consequences of their unbelief and disobedience.

“My sheep listen to My voice: I know them and they follow Me” (John 10:27) Obey Him today, even if you don’t feel like it.

I am weak, but Thou art strong

Jesus, keep me from all wrong

I'll be satisfied as long

As I walk, let me walk close to Thee

Just a closer walk with Thee

Grant it, Jesus, is my plea

Daily walking close to Thee

Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

From the old hymn "Just a Closer Walk with Thee"
