Believe and Obey

God's commands are made to the life of his Son in us, not to our human nature; consequently all that God tells us to do is always humanly difficult; but it becomes divinely easy immediately we obey because our obedience has behind it all the omnipotent power of the grace of God.  Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)

John 1:48-51 (HCSB) 48  “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered. 49  “Rabbi,” Nathanael replied, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50  Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe only because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” 51  Then He said, I assure you: You will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
