OBEDIENCE (part1)
“Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.” James 2:21-24
On Sunday November 4, 2007 I spoke on obedience, to listen CLICK HERE this is part 1, so there will be at least one more message on obedience next week.
“The kingdom of God moves forward on the shoulders of the obedient.”
Obedience is a very important thing, our faith is measured by it. How far are we willing to step out in obedience when God prompts us to do something? We probably won’t ever have to step too far out if we have obedient hearts because we have already proved ourselves obedient when God has asked us to do the small things.
The smallness or the greatness of a thing is not what matters to God, all He’s looking for is a willing heart.
