We read in the book of John 14: 15-16
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever:

Obedience is a very courageous and high principle in the person, those who practice the value of obedience will have many blessings and promises that will undoubtedly achieve their life for good in every way since obedience is a principle established by God.
In the whole Bible from the old testament to the new testament we are going to find this word because through obedience it was that the men of God obtained victories and it was through obedience that Jesus became man to come to die on a cross in order to give us salvation and it is through obedience that we have access to the kingdom of God.
The term obedience (originating in the Latin oboedientĭa), is related to the act of obeying (that is, respecting, abiding by and fulfilling the will of the authority or of the person in charge).
Obedience usually takes place based on obligations or prohibitions that involve the performance or omission of certain actions. The concept contemplates the subordination of the individual will to an authority figure, which can be both an individual and a group or a concept. There are those who, for example, fulfill obedience to God or to an ideology. Taken by: (https: // Authors: Julián Pérez Porto and María Merino. Published: 2009. Updated: 2012).

God as our creator and heavenly father demands obedience and respect from us. 1Kings 2: 3 tells us: "Fulfill the commands of the Lord your God; follow his paths and obey his decrees, commandments, laws and precepts, which are written in the law of Moses. Thus you will prosper in everything you do and everywhere you go". (| NIV RVR95 RVR60).
Jesus replied: "He who loves me will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will make our dwelling in him."
