The life of a believer is a life of obedience. Without believing in the finished works of Christ, there would be no salvation. Without consecration, studying the word, and prayer, there would be no spiritual growth or advancement. And quite similarly, without application of words, instructions, directions, promises remain just that with no fulfilment. Hence, we see how tangential obedience to all of God’s (direct/indirect, subtle/not-so-subtle) words are. If it were not important, instructions would not be littered all through the scriptures. These instructions which only give us life and life in abundance (John 10:10) are key in the life of every child of God.
