Apart from Him we can do nothing
Obedience to Christ’s teachings is an expectation of each follower of Christ.
Genuine faith in Christ is distinguished by the difference between a mental acceptance of Christ and a dedicated heartfelt commitment to discipleship.
It requires an active surrender of our will and desires to Christ in all things at all times.
The most fundamental way we obey Christ is through the keeping of the two greatest commandments, which are both expressions of love: love for God and love for others.
One of the greatest ways we express love for God and others is through evangelism, which was the last command Christ gave us before ascending to Heaven.
We hope you find these articles on Obedience helpful to you as you abide with Christ.

The question “why does God allow evil” presupposes that God is the author of evil, which He isn’t. We must dig deeper for an answer.
As professing Christ followers, we must be willing to examine ourselves for the signs of a lukewarm Christian. Eternity hangs in the balance.
When Jesus invites us to come and see, His invitation is undergirded by faith, but it also hints at something else. What else is He asking us?
Sacrifice in Christianity goes beyond simply doing what we ought. It is giving God what He is rightfully owed.
