Obedience Determines Identity
BY JEPHWALLACE, ON OCTOBER 25TH, 2010
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. – Romans 6:16-22
Be not deceived, if you do not obey the Bible, you are NOT a Christian.
Obedience to sin identifies you as a sinner, “. . . without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:” (Ephesians 2:12)
Obedience to God identifies you as a child of God, made possible by the atoning blood of the precious Lamb of God.
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; – Hebrews 5:9
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: – 1 Peter 1:18-19
O! the Blood of Jesus!!
Because of the blood, we can be found obedient and faithful at His return. Glory to God!
Wondering what you good people think of this article...
