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.
But Samuel replied,
"Which do you think pleases Yahweh more, animals that are completely burned on the altar and other sacrifices,
or people obeying him [SYN]?
It is better to obey Yahweh than to offer sacrifices to him.
It is better to pay attention to what he says than to burn the fat of rams, even though God said they should be sacrificed to him.
But Peter, speaking for himself and the other apostles, replied, "We (exc) have to obey what God commands us to do, not what you people tell us to do!
We (exc) tell people about these things that we know happened to Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, whom God has sent to us who obey him, is also confirming that these things are true."
Although Christ is God’s own Son, he learned to obey God by suffering before he died. By becoming ◄all that God intended him to be/perfect►, he has now become fully qualified to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves eternally all who obey him.
Obedecer aos mandamentos de Cristo
Jesus vinculou amor a obediência. Quem ama a Deus guarda seus mandamentos, e seus mandamentos não são pesados.
"If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
Jesus replied to him, "Those who love me will obey what I have told them. My Father will also love them. It is those people whom my Father and I will be able to come to and ◄live with/have a personal relationship with►.
I say this because our obeying what God commands us to do is the same as loving him. And it is not burdensome/difficult for us to do what God commands us to do.
Dear friends, when we do not feel guilty because of our sins, we can pray to God confidently. And, when we confidently pray to him and request something from him, we receive it because we do what he commands us to do, and because we do what pleases him.
"Because people should obey what their masters tell them, ◄it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?► [RHQ]
Then he said to all of them, "If any one of you wants to be my disciple, you must not do only what you yourself desire to do. Specifically, you must be willing each day [MET] to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced to carry [MET] crosses to the place where they will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
Obedecer e praticar a Palavra
Sejam praticantes da Palavra. Quem ouve e pratica é como o homem sábio que construiu sobre a rocha firme — inabalável.
Do what God commands in his message. Do not only listen to it, because people who only listen to it and do not obey it are wrong when they think that God will save them.

So submit yourselves to God. ◄Resist the devil/Refuse to do what the devil wants►, and as a result he will run away from you.
Make sure to habitually read to the people some of the laws that God gave Moses. Meditate on those laws every day and every night. And be sure to obey all those laws. If you do that, you will be successful in everything that you do [DOU].

My son, obey my commands,
and do not ignore what your mother has taught you.
Those who pay attention when others try to ◄correct them/teach them what they are doing that is wrong► will live ◄happily/for many years►;
but those who reject being rebuked will not find the road to life (OR, cause others to go astray).
Bênçãos da obediência
A obediência abre caminho de bênçãos e prosperidade. Deus promete vida, saúde e vitória aos que andam em seus caminhos.
"If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
I surely wish that they would always think like that and revere me and obey all my commandments, in order that things may go well for them and for their descendants forever.
Conduct your lives as Yahweh our God has commanded us to do, in order that you may live a long time, and in order that things will go well for you when you are living in the land that you will occupy.’ "
Since all God’s laws are important, if anyone disobeys any of those commandments, even if it would be one of the least important ones, and if that person teaches people to disobey any of those commandments, it will be said {God will say} that that person is the least important of those in the place where [EUP] God rules. But those who obey those commandments and teach other people to obey them, it will be said {God will say} that they are very important among those that God rules.
So, my fellow believers whom I love, continue to hold strongly to the things that you believe. Do not let anything cause you to doubt them. Always be doing enthusiastically the work that the Lord gives you. And remember that the work that you do for the Lord is never ◄in vain/useless►, as it would be if God will not cause us to live again after we die.
It was because one person, Adam, disobeyed God that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, Jesus, obeyed God when he died that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that he will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
God gave [PRS] his laws to Moses [PRS] in order that people might realize how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
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.
My fellow believers, since God has acted mercifully toward you in so many ways, I appeal to all of you that you present yourselves [SYN] to him by making yourselves like holy sacrifices [MET]. Make yourselves sacrifices that he is pleased with, sacrifices that are living/alive, not ones that are dead/killed. Since God has done so much for you/us, this is the only appropriate way to serve him.
Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your way of life by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases God, and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be.
Do not be lazy. Instead, be eager to serve the Lord God!
We who are guided by the Spirit of God {allow the Spirit of God to guide us} are God’s children.
Every believer must be subject to the authorities. Remember that God is the only one who gives officials their authority. Furthermore, those officials that exist are ones who have been appointed by God {God has appointed}.
Every believer must be subject to the authorities. Remember that God is the only one who gives officials their authority. Furthermore, those officials that exist are ones who have been appointed by God {God has appointed}. So whoever resists the officials is resisting what God has established. Furthermore, those who resist officials will bring on themselves from the officials the punishment that God considers fitting.
Pray these things in order that I may go/come to you if God wants me to go/come, and that I may go/come joyfully, and that then God will refresh my spirit as a result of my visiting/being with you.
and in order that every person [SYN] should declare that Jesus Christ is Lord. As a result of everyone doing that, they will honor God, his Father.
And because you should obey your heavenly Father [SIM], as children ought to obey their fathers here on earth, do not do the evil things that you used to desire to do when you did not know God’s truth.
The man replied, "He wrote that we (inc) must love the Lord our God. We must show that by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. He also wrote that we must love people that we come in contact with as much as we love ourselves."
"But I say this to each of you disciples who are listening to what I say: Love your enemies as well as your friends. Do good things for those who hate you! Ask God to bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
Do what Yahweh our God tells you to do. Conduct yourself as he wants you to do. Obey all of his laws and commands and precepts and instructions that are written in the laws that Moses gave us. Do this in order that you will prosper in all that you do and wherever you go.
When foreigners hear about me,
they ◄cringe/bow low before me► and they obey me.
You did not decide to become my disciples. Instead, I chose you, so that you would do many things that please him [MET]. The results of what you do will last forever. I also chose you so that my Father will do for you whatever you, using my authority, ask him to do [MTY].
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: "Pay attention to what I am saying, and then decide [IDM] to honor me [MTY]. If you do not do that, I will curse you, and I will curse the things that I have given to you to bless you. And I have already cursed them, because you have not honored [IDM] me.
