Knowledge and Obedience

Knowing the truth is important, but God wants us to couple our knowledge with obedience. It is more important to know a little and obey what we know, than it is to know a lot and obey only a little. Jesus consistently spoke of “pleasing God,” not in terms of knowing Him, but of obeying Him. God desires an obedience-based relationship with mankind.  Verses: Heb. 4:13; 11:6; Matt. 21:28-31, 46-50; 28:9-20; Luke 6:46; 12:37, 41, 47-48; 1 Sam. 15:22-23; James 1:22; 1 Cor. 9:24-27; Gen. 3:4-6; John 14:15, 23-24; Col. 1:9-10; 2 Cor. 5:10; Rom. 14:12; Rev. 20:12-13  Teacher: John Schoenheit and Dan Gallagher
