Respond to His Word, Obey God!

From the writings of Sumner Wemp

Aug 28, 2009


Respond to HIS Word, obey God!

 

1. Read His Word. God wrote you a letter, you ought to read your mail
 
2. Remember His Word, (memorize it). Be like Jesus, He memorized the Bible
 
3. Rehearse His Word (meditate therein day and night)
 
4. Respond to His Word (obey God. do what He said) "Simon answered, 'Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.'" Luke 5:5. He did and he caught the biggest catch of his life. This is the greatest verse for Christians to live by.
 
A good question
-
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" Luke 6:46.
 
Be a doer

"Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the Word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does" James 1:22-25. How logical. "Let us reason together says the Lord" Isa. 1:18. Oh how we need to just obey God.

Obey His Word

In Deuteronomy, one of my favorite books, when Israel was about to leave the wilderness, (they were out of the will of God in the wilderness) and going  into the promised land, they were told over and over, to obey God, to observe and do all that God had commanded them to do, that it may go well with them and their children Deut. 4:40.
 
Meditate on these last five lines. It is the key to the Christian life today.
 
Saved unto good works

We are NOT saved or kept saved by good works but we are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works" Eph. 2:10.
 
"Good works don't produce salvation but salvation produces good works."
 
Prayer:  Father bless Your children and help us to obey You for our good and Your glory. In Jesus name.
 
O dear people, as you read the Word of the living God, be honest with yourself and just DO WHAT GOD SAYS. When God says, "Pray," pray. When God says "Read," read. When God says, "Give," give.

Praise God every day by being willing to obey what He say to you.
