Being Obedient to God
Obedience
Living a life of obedience
Being obedient to God’s word and becoming sinless is not easy at first.
We all have the flesh that craves sin.
But when we truly repent and ask God to transform us, He gives you strength to overcome sin and we become more like Jesus and you start pleasing God with your obedience.
I have become so immune to sin that it doesn’t bother me anymore and I’ve been truly set free.
Everyone has their own struggles and everyone’s journey is not the same.
For some believers the enemy will attack you to prevent you from experience this life of Christ under God’s grace.
Obedience starts with knowing God’s word and His commandments, but Jesus gave two additional commandments that it becomes impossible to commit any of the ten.
Love your God with all your heart, mind, and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.
We all know God is love and without love everything is meaningless, the bible says now abide faith, hope, and love but the greatest of these is love.
God wants us to live in obedience to Him and it delights Him when He sees His children obeying and turning from sin.
But remember not to put too much pressure on yourself at first to where you give up and think it’s impossible.
For example, Jesus said to look at a woman with lust is the same as actually committing adultery with her.
So it’s very hard to overcome this one commandment.
Don’t stress yourself with being perfect in the sight of the Lord, ask Him to renew your mind and watch Him take away sin totally in your life. and once you’ve overcome that you start to experience more peace and joy.
Losing the guilt of sinning against the Creator, even though it’s a tough obstacle it is so rewarding and you’ll be so glad your no longer tempted by sin and you are truly made whole and enjoy the life God created you to live.
Become so consumed with obeying God that your natural instinct is to be obedient.
Many people including myself must lay down their own lustful desires and completely submit to the word of God.
We know right from wrong and we start living a life of doing good, and it becomes a passion to obey.
Sometimes life happens and we get discouraged of our lustful desires looking fo a tempemory satisfaction, When in fact God can give you permananet satisfaction.
When you live a life of constant obedience you start to have God’s desires come into your heart and you start to feel fulfilled in this life giving up any outside circumstance to complete you.
God loves is children and we are constantly on His mind.
It pleases Him to see His children turn from their wicked ways especially in days like today times.
So God is stretching out his hand and giving you the opportunity to become so focus on obeying and trusting Him.
And to let all your cares and worries fade away and you look to Him for your completion.
