Obedience
is a result of loving God. It's in the
Bible, John 14:15 and 23, TLB. "If you love Me, obey Me; …Because
I will only reveal Myself to those who love Me and obey Me. The Father will love
them too, and we will come to them and live with them."
The
Holy Spirit will only be given to those who obey the Lord. It's in the Bible,
Acts 5:32, NIV. "We are witnesses of these things, and so is the
Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."
Jesus
obeyed His Father, as an example of how we should obey Him.
It's in the Bible, Hebrews 5:8-9, TLB. "And even though Jesus was
God's Son, He had to learn from experience what it was like to obey, when
obeying meant suffering. It was after He had proved himself perfect in this
experience that Jesus became the Giver of eternal salvation to all those who
obey Him."
God
advises us to obey the laws of the land.
It's in the Bible, Romans 13:1-2, TLB. "Obey the government, for God
is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has
not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are
refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow."
Sometimes
obedience to God and His law may require disobedience of earthly powers.
It's in the Bible, Acts 5:29, NIV. "We must obey God rather than
men!"
Children
are to obey and honor their parents. It's in
the Bible, Ephesians 6:1-3, TLB. "Children obey your parents; this
is the right thing to do because God has placed them in authority over you.
Honor your father and mother. This is the first of God's Ten Commandments that
ends with a promise. And this is the promise: that if you honor your father and
mother, yours will be a long life, full of blessing."
