OBEYING IS BETTER THAN SAYING, “I’M SORRY”
1 Samuel 15:22 (ESV) And Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
PEOPLE WHO OBEY GOD’S WORD WILL BE BLESSED
Luke 11:28 (ESV) But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
CHRISTIANS SHOULD OBEY THE GOVERNMENT
Romans 13:1-4 (ESV) 1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.
CHILDREN SHOULD OBEY THEIR PARENTS
Ephesians 6:1 (ESV) Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
CHRISTIANS OBEY GOD
1 John 2:3 (ESV) And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
