Message: Our whole life should be a life of obedience to the WORD and SPIRIT!

If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15 NKJV

“For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:23-25 NKJV

I. CHRIST CENTERED OBEDIENCE

If you love Me, keep My commandments.” II Corinthians 5:14 NKJV”For the love of Christ compels us . . .” John 14:15 NKJV

II. WHOLE HEARTED OBEDIENCE

‘Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from
twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I
swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have
not wholly followed Me, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the LORD.‘”  Numbers 32:11-12 NKJV

“Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God
with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your
mind.’ ” Matthew 22:37 NKJV

III. COMPLETE OBEDIENCE

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”  John 2:1-5 NKJV

IV. CONSISTENT OBEDIENCE

But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer
of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:25 NKJV

” . . . Well done, good and faithful servant . . . ” Matthew 25:21 NKJV
