Hear & Obey, For There's No Other Way

A command is just words unless it is obeyed. When obeyed, it has great results.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. (Matt. 7:24)

Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Matt. 7:21)

Whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matt. 5:19)

If you love me, you will obey what I command. (John 13:15)

Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. (John 14:21)

If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. (John 15:10)

...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. (Matt. 28:20)

A Christian is defined in terms of his obedience.

-He will enter the kingdom of Heaven.
-He is a wise man.
-He is great in the kingdom.
-He loves God.
-He remains in God’s love.
-He makes disciples of Jesus by teaching obedience.

Remember that all obedience is by grace and faith. It is not by effort or willpower.
