The following question remains a great concern especially for true followers of Jesus.

Iโ€™ve worked through it but probably havenโ€™t fully realized its critical relevance until more recently.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰Is obedience to Jesus all that important?? After all we are saved by grace and grace alone.

little bro david



1 Samuel 15:22 obedience is better than sacrifice



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 heed than the fat of rams: Religious observance without obedience is empty before God. The best sacrifice we can bring to God is a repentant heart (Psalm 51:16-17) and our bodies surrendered to His service for obedience (Romans 12:1).



i. One could make a thousand sacrifices for God, work a thousand hours for Godโ€™s service, or give millions of dollars to His work. But all these sacrifices mean little if there is not a surrendered heart to God, shown by simple obedience ( guzik )



ii. In sacrifice we offer the flesh of another creature; in obedience we offer our own will before God. Luther said, โ€œI had rather be obedient, than able to work miracles.โ€ (Cited in Trapp)

Youโ€™re exactly right HC but unfortunately obedience has become a controversial issue, even among Christians. Some think obedience amounts to legalism.

But Jesus clearly says: โ€œโ€ฆIF you love me, keep my commandmentsโ€ฆโ€.

In fact, if we refuse to obey Jesus by repenting of our sins and turning to Jesus as our Lord (Master), we can never enter heaven.
