The Necessity of Obedience…
Is it - Required? Demanded? Expected? Commanded?
From the Words of Jesus:
John 14:15 - “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
His commandments are not burdensome - 1 John 5:3
Mark 16:16 - “He who believes and is baptized (DOES SOMETHING) will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
Baptism is an act of obedience.
Luke 6:46 - “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?”
OBEDIENCE IS EXPECTED IF JESUS IS LORD OF YOUR LIFE
