THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH

But now is made manifest and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith – Romans 16:26

There are those who think obedience is for those under the law. There’s the obedience of the law as preached by Moses, there’s also the obedience of faith preached by the Lord Jesus Christ. The obedience of the law was done by spiritually dead men and women using their own human effort to the law given to Moses.

The obedience of faith is done by born again men and women, not by human effort but by the power of the Spirit of God to the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ. Walking by the Spirit doesn’t mean we live in disobedience to God. Being under grace doesn’t mean we don’t have to obey.

If anything, under grace we’re empowered by the Spirit of God to live a life of obedience we couldn’t live before. By the help of the Spirit we can now obey whatsoever the Lord Jesus Christ commanded. Glory to God!

PRAYER

Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I thank You for the obedience of faith. Help me to obey the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ by the Spirit You’ve given me. Amen.
