The Blessings of Obedience

by Andrew Murray

Book Overview

Connect with God
Obedience is not the most popular word in our vocabulary. We live in a society that is constantly battling the system, fighting for what we want. We're primarily concerned with how the rules inconvenience us, and we're looking to see what we can get away with. Obedience is much more than following rules; it's a state of the heart. By missing this truth, we miss the power of complete obedience.

Obediance at its Simplest

Yet another 'little, unassuming' book...not! For many years, I've struggled to become more intimate in my relationship and understanding of Christ. I picked up this dusty little gem from the oblivion of my overstuffed bookcase. Its truths are revolutionary and freeing, enriching and deeply freeing. Yet, to apply these truths is tough on the flesh. My pride and self-sufficiency were challenged. At the turn of each page, I became ever more aware of my own stubborn independence. To give these things to God was a challenge but I am the better for it. What I admire about Murray's writing is that he was gifted to disseminate complex Biblical truths into bite-sized bits that one can understand and digest. He's quite gifted at this. If you want to grow closer to God, read and apply the truths in this book.

Fantastic book

This book is an excellant book of obedience. This book will help you to grow in your walk with God. The older saints were very knowledgable & what was written back then if applicable now

To Obey is Better Than Sacrifice.

Pastor Murray writes with conviction how the believer's position in Christ is marked out by the obedience to God. This is the one and only sacrifice that is acceptable to God. This obedience can only be accomplished, and, hence, can only be acceptable as the believer abides in Christ. He shows. through scriptures and illustrations, how that obedience is the natural outcome of our relationship to Jesus Christ. Spending time in the Word of G-d, and in communion through prayer is the great secret of the believer's ability to walk in obedience to God.

Excellent for those Christians ready for real change...

No feel-good message here. No fire and brimstone either. Just clear, biblical exhortation from a man with an obvious heart for following God. Murray's main point is that complete obedience, while impossible to practice, must be an absolute commitment on our part for us to walk in Christ. Basic things that are rote memorized truths in Christians minds are here restated in a way that will prod you to reconsider your level of true, deep obedience. I highly reccomend this book for anyone hungering for more...
