Truth Requires Obedience
Walking in Truth Requires Obedience
Jesus, the son of God is also the way the truth and the life. So it’s obvious Jesus is all truth and yet one of the final temptations Jesus faced was to pass the cup and not follow the Father’s will to the cross of Calvary. I am so thankful Jesus loved the Father unto the point of laying down His life for there is no greater gift indeed and Jesus followed the very commandments He had spoken!
Walking in truth includes obedience to the Father’s will and ways through the Lordship of Christ Jesus. Knowledge without application is dead works!
John 15:13 (AMP)
13 No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends.
Matthew 22:36–40 (AMP)
36 Teacher, which kind of commandment is great and important (the principal kind) in the Law? [Some commandments are light—which are heavy?]
37 And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). [Deut. 6:5.]
38 This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. [Lev. 19:18.]
40 These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets.
James 2:17 (AMP)
17 So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).
Revelation 12:11 (AMP)
11 And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].
