A thought about the Importance of Obedience in Christian Life

God created parents — fathers and mothers — to guide and teach their children how to obey. Their role is to help us understand the importance of following instruction. When a person resists authority, they often turn against it. But if God is truly who He says He is, then we are meant to follow His will and His ways.

A heart that desires to obey will choose to do so willingly and with love. However, obedience doesn’t happen overnight. It’s something we must learn over time. People often stumble because they give in to temptation or choose to reject authority. But as we grow in our faith, we begin to realise that it is far better and wiser to obey God.

This learning journey shapes our Christian life, teaching us that obedience brings blessing.

You shall walk entirely in the way which the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and that it may be well for you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.

The Apostle Paul’s Admission of Flaws

In the Bible, there’s a well-known statement: “The good that I want to do, I do not do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.” Many might guess a troubled figure like King Saul or Judas Iscariot said these words. But surprisingly, these words came from the apostle Paul, one of the greatest leaders of the Christian faith.

Paul, the writer of 13 New Testament books and a powerful preacher of Jesus Christ, admitted this personal struggle in Romans 7:14-25. Even though he was deeply committed to God, Paul confessed that he still battled against sin within himself. This wasn’t a moment of weakness before his conversion, but an honest reflection as a believer.

This passage speaks for every Christian, no matter how faithful or spiritually mature they are. When followers of Christ compare their lives to the perfect standard of God’s law and the depth of their love for Him, they realise they often fall short. True believers don’t claim to be sinless. Instead, they recognise their flaws and eagerly look forward to the day they will be made perfect in heaven.

He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

A thought about trusting God

When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to think everything is out of control. But if God truly controls all things, then your life is not without direction. God holds your life steady, even when it seems uncertain. Isn’t the real question whether you trust Him enough to believe He will lead you to make the right choices?

If your trust in God is complete, your main concern becomes one simple thing: is this decision part of God’s will? If the answer is yes, then you can move forward with confidence. This kind of faith brings peace, joy, and a calm heart, because you know God is guiding you.

Living this way means choosing, on purpose, to obey God no matter what might happen next. You trust Him with the outcome.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Transform Your Life Through God’s Love

God loves you exactly as you are, and He is patiently waiting for you to let Him shape you into the person He knows you can become.

So, how does this transformation happen? It begins with recognising who Jesus truly is. He is the Son of God, sent into the world to give His life on the cross for your sins and mine. When He died, He took on the sins of everyone—past, present, and future. This act of love is available to everyone, no matter where they are or what their past looks like.

No matter who you are or where you find yourself today, Jesus loves you. He is waiting for you to say “Yes, Lord,” and surrender your life to Him. When you do, you will witness incredible changes as He works in your life, offering you hope and a new purpose.

By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.

1 John 4:9

The Inclusive Love of Jesus

No one is left out of Jesus’ love. It doesn’t matter where a person comes from, what language they speak, or what their background is. No race, belief, or past mistake can place someone beyond the reach of His care. Jesus welcomes every person, no matter their story.

When someone chooses to accept Jesus Christ, something powerful happens in their life. It starts by believing that Jesus is truly the Son of God, sent by the Father into this world. He gave His life on the cross, shedding His blood to pay for the sins of all people. When a person confesses this truth and receives Jesus as their personal Saviour, their life is made new.

Jesus did not come to judge or push people away. His purpose was to save, to bring hope, and to offer a new beginning to anyone who will receive Him.

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

John 3:17
