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?
