Obedience - 2

Ways to Obedience

+ From suffering

Hebrews 5:8

Son  though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered

+ By taking every captive thought

2 Corinthians 10:5

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God,  and we take captive every thought to make it obedient  to Christ.

+ By the attitude of fear

2 Corinthians 7:15

And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient,  receiving him with fear and trembling.

+ By humbling oneself

Philippians 2:8

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross!

+ From faith

Romans 1:5

Through him we received grace  and apostleship to call all the Gentiles  to the obedience that comes from faith  for his name’s sake.

+ By the exemplary life

Romans 15:18

I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done—

+ Through the Spirit

Romans 15:18-19

I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles  to obey God  by what I have said and done—   by the power of signs and wonders,  through the power of the Spirit of God.  So from Jerusalem  all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
