The Coming Savior, Day 24

Obedience. Read Exodus chapter 24.

The people understood the importance of their committing obedience to Lord. Moses told the people everything the Lord had shared with him. He went through all of the laws and all of the requirements. How did the people respond? They told Moses that they would do everything the Lord had told them. They would be obedient.

In John and other places in the Bible, we see that obedience to the Lord is actually a demonstration of our love of God. We show God we love him by our obedience to him. When we think about the things that God asks of us, are we obedient to everything God requests? Do we seek to follow him in every area of our life? If we don’t, do we really love God? Our obedience to his laws and commands is a demonstration of our love to him.
