OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH

Every positive and trusting response to the Good News of Salvation in Christ Jesus, demonstrates obedience to the Faith (Heb. 11:7-8). True faith is not an attempt to earn salvation through strict religious rules nor human traditions; rather, it is a complete surrender to God and a heartfelt belief in the Son of God (Jas. 2:17-18).
Genuine faith naturally produces a transformed life and a desire to do God’s will. Obedience flows from love, gratitude, and the work of God’s Spirit of grace within us — not from fear, guilt, nor a desire for acceptance. Faith comes first as a gift from God, and a life of obedience becomes the evidence that such faith is living, genuine, and active (Rom. 4:16; 10:17, 12:3)! Therefore, those who truly believe in Christ, are called to walk in obedience, allowing their lives to testify of the power and love of God, and Abba revealed through the Gospel.

PRAYER: Dear LORD, Everlasting God, thank You for the knowledge of Your Word and for revealing Your presence, through the Gospel at work in my life. Worthy is Your Name; for — by grace, through faith — I am empowered to walk in obedience to Your Word and to testify to all people, of Your real love. in Jesus’ Name, may my life continually bring glory to You. Amen!

From Romans 1:5
