What if no one obeyed God?
It would be time for Him to close shop and move on to the next phase of eternity.
However, there are those who love Him. We see this especially in their obedience.
Does the Lord care about obedience?
1 Samuel 15:22 – 22 But Samuel replied:
“Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD?
To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
Luke 11:28 – 28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Very much so, in fact it’s what the Lord wants from us. If we obey what He asks it means we’re loving Him, serving Him, and reaching others for Him which are lost.
The world is full of people who aren’t doing what He wants them to do, or that care about Him.
I see people who have gotten their lives closer to God. They have a loving relationship with Jesus which wasn’t all that strong or much existent before. As a result I see their families getting closer to the Lord. Their obedience is helping to spread God’s love and power.
Obedience strengthens our own lives with God and it helps bring others to Him. It is so important to seek and obey our Lord.
