OBEDIENCE

“And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”

Genesis 3:17 KJV

If you ever doubt that obedience is important, remember what happened to Adam and Eve because they disobeyed God.  Someone said, “The things I do are nobody’s business but my own”.  That is not a true statement.  Our words and our actions do affect other people and sometimes we even hurt God.

God does not say that one sin is worse than another sin.  We are the ones who say one sin is worse than another sin.  Jesus died for everybody.  He died for murderers but He also died for liars.  However I think if God were to say one sin is worse than all other sins, He would say disobedience is the worse sin.

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for hurting You when we sometimes disobey You.  We’re sorry that we fail You and hurt You at times.  May we be faithful to obey You all the time.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  I love You, Jesus.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
