The Priority of Obedience

Andrew Baker | Hebrews 3:1, 4:1-11; Romans 8:14; 1 John 5:3 — In order to enter God’s rest and walk in the fullness of His covenantal promises, we must recognise the priority of obedience. But if we think that God has chosen us just to do His work for Him, we have missed the point. We are called to obedience as our joy and our purpose; we obey not to earn approval but as His sons and daughters who willingly sacrifice all to bear His image and fulfil our heavenly calling.
