"THE OBEDIENCE TO LOVE HIM"

We are facing, in the Body of Christ, a serious condition of heresy.  The belief is, [which is really unbelief] that because of Grace, obedience is no longer required and faith has become a replacement theology to obedience. This heresy of thinking has led to a severely broken-weakened relationship with God.  This mind-set that has declared that in Grace, we are no longer "Governed by Laws of Righteousness," has exposed an ignorance to the "Majesty Of His Grace."

To excuse oneself from obedience, by abusing our "Position of Redemption," in Grace, has been a great source of rebellion, which is as the sin of witchcraft -- a disregard of Accountability to God's Righteousness.

When Jesus came, He declared, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets.  I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." [Matthew 5:17]  Jesus proceeds to declare, "I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of the pen will by any means disappear from the Law, until every thing is accomplished.  Anyone who breaks one of the least of these Commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the "Kingdom of Heaven," but whoever practices and teaches these Commands will be called great in the "Kingdom of Heaven." [Matthew 5:18-19]

Do we truly believe that Grace is not Governed by the "Spiritual Laws of God's Righteousness?"

Do we truly believe that "Grace" has no Boundaries?

The Articles of Covenant, with our God, clearly declares, "Faith by itself, if not accompanied by action, is dead."  [James 2:17] "As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead." [James 2:26]

Faith, without the act of obedience that "honors" what we declare, is dead.

Declaration without obedience is "Broken Agreement."

Obedience is the act that honors and fulfills what one declares.

"Obedience is Faith's betrothed and fruitful partner."

Obedience absolutely defines one's relationship of Trust with Adonai.

God does everything by witness and agreement.  Obedience is agreement's partner with faith. 

Jesus is the "Ultimate Expression" of this truth.  Through the Prophetic Voice of the Almighty, the Prophets declared the coming of Messiah.  Jesus became the "Majestic Work of Fulfillment" to do what God had declared. Jesus declared, "I have come to do the will of the Father," and the Word of God declares, Jesus being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. [Philippians 2:8]  Here we see Jesus, the obedience to Faith, betrothed to God's Will, and the fruit Jesus' obedience produced is now a Kingdom of Sons and Daughters for God, a royal priesthood.

To believe that faith alone would accomplish this is unbelief and error of doctrine.  For obedience is the action, in agreement, of what has been declared by faith.

Jesus' desire for us is that every area of our lives produce, proclaim, and demonstrate the "Fruits of His Righteousness," the "Righteousness of His Kingdom."  Jesus wants to be the "Ultimate Expression" of our lives. This will be seen when we live what we declare.  To be transformed is to become what we declare.

We must begin to understand that there is more required that just declaring His Word.  There is an obedience required to fulfill all Faith.

Those who live by it will love

And those who love will live by it.

2 John verse 6

It all starts with a confession of faith, but that is not where it ends.  That is just the beginning.  The confession must be accompanied by belief and belief to obedience, "Trust's" greatest expression.  The measure of Trust in God will determine the depth of one's relationship with Him.  Jesus' obedience to the Father was cultivated through a relationship of "Trust."  Jesus became obedient unto death.  This obedience through confident faith, belief, and trust was Jesus' highest expression of Love and Honor to the Father.

For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that

whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life.
