Good day, people of God. We are the people of God if we obey His commandments. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior told us that we can only be His disciples if we continue in His word. We are not his disciples if we are not obedient to His words. Obeying the commandments of God is what proves us to belong to Him. When someone says that he knows God and is not following the commandments of God, that person is only deceiving his own self. A disciple of Jesus Christ is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. Obedience to the will of God is not optional for a child of God.
God wants us to obey Him. We were created by God to be obedient to Him. We are not to live in disobedience. When we disobey God we are living against His will. The purpose of God for our lives is just one thing, that is we should obey His commandments. We must obey His purpose. We must do the will of God. We should be followers of God. Following God entails doing His word.
To be able to obey the commandments of, we must read the Bible always. The Bible teaches us the doctrines of Jesus Christ. The things that are pleasing to God are stated in the Bible. So, reading the Bible always will open us to know what is the plan of God. As true followers of God and the children of the kingdom of God, we have to obey everything that God has told us.
