The Added Power of ObedienceS. Richard NelsonOne of the most pronounced sources of spiritual power is obedience to the laws of God. Many are more than willing to die for their beliefs than to faithfully live them. The most effective way to introduce others to the word of God is not to die for it, but simply to obey it.
When God sends us a miracle, it is because we obeyed a commandment that justified a miracle. Any desire we hope to achieve or accomplish that is exceptional, substantial, or advantageous will be realized through obedience to God’s law. |
Book Three
"Any desire we hope to achieve or accomplish that is exceptional, substantial, or advantageous will be realized through obedience to God’s law." |

Our life on earth is about learning. It is about enlarging our experience and employing our faith. We are here to improve our perception of life’s purpose and the magnificence of its possibilities; to savor the expectation of the promises of glory that await the faithful beyond this life and beyond all current comprehension; and to fully recognize that God lives and that He loves us. Even Jesus, the greatest of all, learned obedience though suffering. (Hebrews 5:8). His hardship and affliction were part of his learning. Like Jesus, we are also here to learn obedience. We don’t need to wander unfamiliar paths in search of truth. God has laid out the way and furnished us with the unfailing map of His law.
