Obedience or Not

Obedience or not.

These are the only two options we've got

The consequence of Choice's sum

affects generations to come...

Eph.1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, ...

It is not long until Innocence suffers the consequence

of what we do and teach...

God, help us!!

Ah yes! You have!

We have your eternal and abiding Word...

Psalm 119:89-96

Forever, O Lord,

Your word [a]is settled in heaven.

90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations; (can I hear a hallelujah!!)

You established the earth, and it [b]abides.

91 They continue this day according to Your ordinances,

For all are Your servants.

92 Unless Your law had been my delight,

I would then have perished in my affliction.

93 I will never forget Your precepts,

For by them You have given me life.

94 I am Yours, save me;

For I have sought Your precepts.

95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me,

But I will [c]consider Your testimonies.

96 I have seen the consummation of all perfection,

But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

God's love is unconditional but His blessing is not

His blessing is reserved for they who fear and obey God

God sees the heart; futile to dress excuse in noble thread

And boldly break His 'thou shalt not' with proud and unbowed head

The consequence of disobedience without remorse 

And repentance, affects an unfathomable divorce

For God, righteous, gracious and kind is holy, true and just

He never winks at rebels or turns a blind eye to lust 

If we confess our sins, God, rich in mercy will forgive

For He is just and faithful, but not mocked; then how we live

Becomes the proof of who we serve, by what we say and do

We choose One Master; it is impossible to serve two 

God's love is unconditional and steadfast to the end

He will not always tarry, then be wary, fellow-friend

Though, oh, so many fall away, though the wicked increase

They who obey, He blesses with His righteousness and peace

God, help us pay more earnest heed to that which we have heard

So that we do not drift, anchored in Thy eternal word

Help us to trust in You and in the Way that You direct

Rather than lofty logic of unguarded intellect

2 Tim.4:1-5

I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, 

who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom: 

2Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. 

Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 

3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, 

but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, 

they will heap up for themselves teachers; 

4and they will turn their ears away from the truth,

 and be turned aside to fables.

  5But you be watchful in all things, 

endure afflictions, 

do the work of an evangelist, 

fulfill your ministry.

Romans 2:13

for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, 

but the doers of the Law will be justified.

James 4:4-10

You adulteresses!b Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God?

 Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himselfc an enemy of God.

  5Or do you think the Scripture says without reason 

that the Spiritd He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?

  6But He gives us more grace. This is why it says:

“God opposes the proud,

but gives grace to the humble.”e

7Submit yourselves, then, to God. 

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. 

Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 

9Grieve, mourn, and weep. 

Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.

10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
