Thought 285
Faithfulness and
Obedience are a Choice
You can choose to be faithful and obedient. You
are never just “naturally” obedient; your human nature is naturally disobedient
(Gen 3:6). Obedience is contrary to our nature, and thus we must exercise our
will—make a choice—to obey.
But I have a great reminder
for you! We serve a God that is always faithful and always keeps His Word! In
other words, He obeys (keeps) His promises. And the greatest thing of all is
that He loves you and me and ‘keeps after’ us with the message of His Son and
the conviction of the Holy Spirit—He desires that none perish; yet they must
make a choice: accept the final debt payment of Christ’s redemption from the
power of sin or reject signing the debt over to Him and carry it themselves.
How’s your faith and obedience right now?
