When we obey God, He has promised to bless us
“…and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.” (Gen. 22:18)
“But following exactly the way that the Lord, your God, commanded you that you may live and prosper, and may have long life in the land which you are to possess.” (Deut. 5:33)
Jesus’s is our example of what it means to be obedient
“For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.” (Rom. 5:19)
Be as obedient children
“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance.” (1 Pet. 1:14)
Therefore…
“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” (John 14:21)
“Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart.” (1 Pet. 1:22)
