‘It is a matter of obedience, and once we obey, the
relationship is instantly perfected. But if we turn away from obedience for
even one second, darkness and death are immediately at work again. All of God’s
revealed truths are sealed until they are opened to us through obedience. You
will never open them through philosophy or thinking. But once you obey, a flash
of light comes immediately. Let God’s
truth work into you by immersing yourself in it, not by worrying into it.
The only way you can get to know the truth of God is to stop trying to find out
and by being born again. If you obey God in the first thing He shows you, then
He instantly opens up the next truth to you. You could read volumes on the work
of the Holy Spirit, when five minutes of total, uncompromising obedience would
make things as clear as sunlight. Don’t say, “I suppose I will understand these
things someday!” You can understand them now. And it is not study that brings
understanding to you, but obedience. Even the smallest bit of obedience opens
heaven, and the deepest truths of God immediately become yours. Yet God will
never reveal more truth about Himself to you, until you have obeyed what you
know already. Beware of becoming one of the “wise and prudent.” “If anyone
wills to do His will, he shall know . . .” (John 7:17). CHAMBERS
It was Adam’s disobedience that set this world on a course
for hell. It was Jesus obedience that
brought another possibility. It is
through our obedience that we walk in the light as He is in the light … Jesus
is the light … The Bible says to be doers of the Word and not hearers (or
readers) only. (James 1:22) To be successful in this Christian life we
must not only meditate on the Word but do it (Joshua 1:8). To be obedient to the Word is to yield your
heart to God. To trust Him and not
yourself (Prov3:5,6)
Easy to say … but as you know, the challenge is in the
doing not the knowing. Praying for you
to that end. ELGIN
