Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment…”

  13. Obedience God saves first and empowers second. Deuteronomy 30:11-14.

  14. Obedience Did Jesus keep the law perfectly? Romans 8:4 Hebrews 4:15 Matthew 5:17 How did Jesus perfectly obey the law?

  15. Obedience • Not legalism if: • Realize my obedience doesn’t save me Christ’s does. • Realize obedience is a fruit of walking with Jesus. • Realize obedience is freeing not controlling.

  16. Obedience • Questions to ask ourselves: • Do I want God first in my life? • Do I want a day to reorient me to God’s ways? • Do I want to love my parents? • Do I want freedom from anger toward others? • Do I want sexual purity? • Do I want to be content with what I have? • Do I want to be honest?
