OBEDIENCE AND
SOUND DOCTRINE OF CHRIST
(Judges
3:4) "And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken
unto the commandments of the LORD, which he had given to their fathers by the
hand of Moses." (1
Samuel 15:22) "And Samuel said unto the LORD delight in burnt offerings and
sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To
obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
"
The
word obedience, which in the original Hebrew means "hear", "hearing", and that
was literally taken as "hear under", we express the way God wants us to hear his
voice, and be attentive to act as to His perfect will.
(Jer
35:13) "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Go and tell the men of
Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to
hearken to my words? says the Lord. "The
disobedience of Adam, the first representative man, and the perfect obedience of
the second, Jesus Christ, are decisive factors in the fate of all. (Acts
4:19,20) "But Peter and John answered them, Whether it be right before God to
obey you rather than God, 20 because we can not but speak the things which we
have seen and heard."
When
Adam ignored obedience plunged humanity into the consciousness of guilt,
condemnation and death (Romans 5:19) "For as by one man's disobedience many were
made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many
be made righteous, "(1 Corinthians 15:22)" For as in Adam all die, so in Christ
shall all be made alive. "
The
unwavering obedience of Christ "DEATH" (Philippians 2:5-11) "5 Let the same mind
be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in very nature God, did
not consider equality with
God something to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a
servant, made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, and death of
the cross. 9
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above
every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
heaven, and in earth, and under of
the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father, "(Hebrews 5:8)" "; 10:5-10) got justice (acceptance with God)
and life (fellowship to with
God) FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIM (Romans 5:15-19).
Obedience
is born of gratitude for the grace received (Romans 12:1), not the desire for
merit and justifying one's self in the sight of God. Besides obedience
means:
Imitate God in
holiness (1 Peter 1:15)
A
Christ in humility and love (John 13:14, Philippians 2:5, Ephesians 4:32, 5:2)
But each of us unbelievers or Christians, we belong to a level of obedience, you
do not know which one you are? , I invite you to meet
me:
1. No knowledge of the law
of God:
In this you will find
people who have not known God. As the argument
of some is the refusal to follow commands. Christianity
promises us free; promises never separate us. Features like:
Lack
of FE, for faith is obedience, nothing, literally nothing.
He
acted according to human knowledge, but this is limited and
relative.
No act thinking other people or God.
It
might even be "Christian" people have this way of life, it is important to
assess whether I am showing and reflecting with my life and attitudes, the new
creature in Christ I am.
Two.
I know and start to
follow:
It
is when I am realizing that my actions affect and influence others. But even I have to let other things.
Accept
the will of God never leads us to that miserable feeling that it is useless to
struggle. God
does not ask that discouraged, weak, sleepy indolence gratification.
God asks us something, and
something strong. He
asks us to cooperate with Him actively want what God wants, our only goal is
your glory. Level with features
like:
Renounce sin and
bondage
I begin to know
the path of obedience
More die myself
missing
Three. Dying to myself
It
is the way and the goal to which God wants us to target, for God has no need of
puppets. God gives to man the
privilege to live as you choose. But
if you live without God in this life, then you must also live without God in the
next. The
true meaning of Christianity is to have a perfect communion with God
continuously, but in order to obtain it, we need to also take up the cross, and
we refuse, our goals, desires and dreams, that God begins his work. Only in this way reach
the true path of obedience. THE
UNIQUE FEATURE OF THIS LEVEL IS: "I NO LONGER LIVE, BUT CHRIST LIVES IN
ME"
Conclusion:
We
can continue to live outside the will of God, indeed, but we lose, do not lose
God, do not lose the pastor, not lose my leader, just me, who I can lose your
salvation.
