Facts About Obedience

+ We are slaves when we obey.

Romans 6:16

Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey —whether you are slaves to sin,  which leads to death,  or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

+ We are chosen for obedience.

1 Peter 1:2

who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge  of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit,  to be obedient  to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood:

 Grace and peace be yours in abundance.

+ Be obedient in everything.

2 Corinthians 2:9

Another reason I wrote you  was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.

+Obey God rather than men

Acts 5:29

Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!

+ Children to obey their parents

Ephesians 6:1

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

+ People to obey authorities

Titus 3:1

+ Believers  to obey spiritual elders

Hebrews 13:17

Have confidence in your leaders  and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you  as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
