HOW IMPORTANT IS OBEDIENCE, WHEN WE ARE LIVING UNDER THE GRACE OF GOD?

Beloved, there are those that do not obey God's word, because they think that grace covers them.

They believe that they can do whatever they desire, because they are under God's grace. 

This is not true.

Obedience to God's word with the Grace of God, will produce great results. 

Grace and obedience are  team.

Romans 5:17

For if  by the man's offence death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in this, life through the the One, Jesus Christ.

When you live by the grace of God you will obey His word and walk in holiness. Reminding ourselves that we are the righteousness of God, because of the shed blood of Jesus.

1Peter 1:13

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.


We purify our souls when we obey the truth through the Holy Spirit. To love the brethren with a pure heart.

1Peter 1:22

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart.

Humility is all part of God's grace. God gives grace to the humble.

1Peter 5:-7

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

"God resist the proud, But fives grace to the humble." 

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Beloved, we can receive more grace.

James 4:6

But He gives more grace, therefore He says:

"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Have you ever prayed for more grace?

Paul prayed 3 times, that God would remove the thorn in his flesh.

2Corinthians 12:9 (His answer)

"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.

Paul had received revelation from the Lord, but to keep him humble, a messenger from Satan was there to buffet him.   It caused him to have a thorn in his flesh. Something to keep him humble.

Beloved, Paul had the grace of God already, so the Lord reminded him, His grace is sufficient.

As we obey the word of the Lord, and remain humble before God we will grow in grace.

Obedience, humility, walking in holiness, all things that will allow more grace of God in our life.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Thank you so much, Momma Joy. In my experience, this is something that isn’t really talked much about in churches. To my experience, grace and obedience are discussed separately. Thank you for clearly laying this out, for clearly pointing out the relationship between grace and obedience in our lives.

How extremely important it is for us to be aware of what has been provided by the Gospel of the Cross! What God has made available to us that are saved by Grace through Faith! God did not cast out a few Kingdom crumbs for those of us who believe. He gave the entire loaf to each one of us so that we might not come behind in any good thing! And He gave it to each one of us as if we were the only heir! That keeps us humble and obedient! Great Word Mama Joy 😊

THE NEW CHRISTIANTY IS A MIXTURE OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM OTHER GOVENMENTS.

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He said " Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

WHEN INDIFFERENCE ENDS, THAT IS WHEN LOVE BEGINS.

  Don't look for love to come to you, instead, look  where you can give it. Galatians 5:13 For you brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. If you have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised in new life, then stop looking at the old you. Give the love that you always wanted to experience before you met Jesus. That unconditional love. If you noticed while reading the gospels that Jesus went out of His way to show the Fathers love, to provide what real love looks like. Sinners flocked to hear the good news of the gospel. They felt the love. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Beloved, we are to do the same for sinners we know, who have not received Jesus yet. We only receive real love from God when we realize that real love is missing from our life. Conditional love says, I will love you if you please me. G...

ARE WE USING THE AUTHORITY AND WEAPONS, JESUS HAS GIVEN TO US?

Beloved, sometimes we allow things to enter our life, that we need to use our spiritual authority and our weapons on to get free to do the works of the Lord. John 14:12-13 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that My Father may be glorified in the Son. When we are attacked,  We must start using the authority and the weapons that we have in the Lord. The enemy will try and trespass in our life if we become complacent, lazy, and neglect our faith. There are times when we are self satisfied and not on our guard, we become slothful. Pride can be behind those attitudes. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour, Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world...
