Obedience: Living for God's Approval and Reward

📖 Introduction

Obedience is at the heart of the Christian journey. It is not just about following rules but about living a life that seeks to honor God and fulfill His purposes. When we obey, we demonstrate our love for God, our trust in His wisdom, and our commitment to His kingdom. The Bible repeatedly encourages believers to obey God, not out of obligation, but out of a joyful response to His grace.

The phrase, "Well done, good and faithful servant," found in Matthew 25:21 and 23, is a beautiful and powerful promise for those who live in obedience to God's will. This commendation reminds us that God values faithfulness and diligence in carrying out His commands. Our obedience is a form of service to God that will one day be recognized and rewarded by Him.
