The lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children, to those who keep His covenant, and who remember His precepts to do them (Psalms 103:17, 18)

Recognizing obedience as a fundamental principle for life is crucial. It is not just a single act or a series of actions, but a way of life characterized by a steadfast spirit of obedience. Jesus demonstrated this way of life and attitude. His mission for coming to Earth is summed up in the statement, “…Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God…” (Hebrews 10:9). Obedience was the cornerstone of His existence. As His disciples, tasked with representing His will on Earth, we are invited to embrace this principle of obedience in our own lives.

Indeed, if we aspire to achieve anything in this life for God, as individuals filled with the Spirit, grounded in faith, professing our beliefs, we must adhere to the foremost principle of obedience.

Why Is Obedience to God Important?

God’s purpose for man is unchanging. The history of God’s dealings with man is a history of
His instruction and effort to get man to obey His commandments and thus be blessed. The way of obedience is the way of blessing. David wrote, the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children, to those who keep His covenant, and who remember His precepts to do them (Psalms 103:17, 18)

The cornerstone of wise living is undoubtedly the principle of obedience. Life, in its truest form, can only be discovered through obedience. To try to find fulfillment in life while disobeying God is like trying to start a fire with water. It will not work. Yet many try and wonder why they cannot find happiness in this life. The principle of obedience was established when God gave specific instructions to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and it has continued through the ages. It is through obedience that we unlock the door to divine blessings, whereas disobedience leads us into spiritual destitution.

Of all the principles of wise living, none is more basic than the principle of obedience. Only
in obedience can man find life. To try to find fulfillment in life while disobeying God is like
