Why Repent? Simply Obey.: Learning Obedience

By Maurice W. Armstrong

The book Why Repent? Simply Obey, is about learning obedience to the word of God.Since God is not a man-He cannot lie. Therefore, whenever He speaks, obedience is the only expected response. Our obedience, however, must come from a heart of love; not because of a command.This is the measure of His stature to which we must attain-to obey God because we love Him. Jesus said, "If you love me keep my commandments." (John 14:15). Our love for God is demonstrated by obedience to his word.Furthermore, obedience is an act of worship. When we're truly in love, we'll do whatever it takes to please... but, "Without faith, it's impossible to please God." (Hebrews 11:6). "Obedience... therefore, is the only proof of our faith in God." (Dr. Mike Murdock).Because of their unbelief, the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. Similarly, the church today drifts in a wilderness of continuous sin and repentance.Although a life of continuous repentance may seem godly, it's slavery to sin. (Romans 6:1-14). Why keep-on repenting? When we can instead learn to be obedient, for when we're obedient there's no need for repentance, and repentance is never a substitute for obedience. Therefore, learning obedience should be the primary focus of every Christian... not repentance. Following his example, we must become "Obedient unto death...." (Philippians 2:8).In closing "Obedience is not an option, but an absolute essential to Christlikeness." (Hebrews 5:8).Come... Let's go on unto perfection. (Hebrews 6:1).
