Obediência
A obediência a Deus é a resposta natural do amor. Jesus disse: 'Se me amais, guardareis os meus mandamentos.' A obediência abre portas de bênção e nos aproxima do coração de Deus.
Obedecer é melhor que sacrificar
Deus deseja obediência acima de rituais. O sacrifício sem submissão ao Senhor é vazio de significado espiritual.

Obedecer aos mandamentos de Cristo
Jesus vinculou amor a obediência. Quem ama a Deus guarda seus mandamentos, e seus mandamentos não são pesados.

Obedecer e praticar a Palavra

Bênçãos da obediência
A obediência abre caminho de bênçãos e prosperidade. Deus promete vida, saúde e vitória aos que andam em seus caminhos.

Ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί, ἑδραῖοι γίνεσθε, ἀμετακίνητοι, περισσεύοντες ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ τοῦ Κυρίου πάντοτε, εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ κόπος ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔστιν κενὸς ἐν Κυρίῳ.
Ὥσπερ γὰρ διὰ τῆς παρακοῆς τοῦ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου ἁμαρτωλοὶ κατεστάθησαν οἱ πολλοί, οὕτως καὶ διὰ τῆς ὑπακοῆς τοῦ ἑνὸς δίκαιοι κατασταθήσονται οἱ πολλοί.

Submissão e consagração
Apresentar o corpo como sacrifício vivo é o culto racional. A obediência se expressa em submissão, serviço e consagração total a Deus.
