"The narrow path!"
GOD'S WILL: "OBEY!"
By A. W.
Tozer
If ye
will not obey . . . then shall the hand of
the Lord
be against you. 1Samuel 12: .18
Independence is a strong human trait, so men and
women
everywhere bristle when anyone says, "You
owe obedience!"
In the natural sense, we do not take
kindly to the
prospect of yielding obedience to anyone.
Both Old and New Testaments of the Bible make it
plain that sin
is disobedience to the Law of God. Paul's
picture of
sinners in Ephesians concludes that the wrath
of God will
come upon those who are "the children of
disobedience."
So, we live in a generation of men and women alienated
from God, and
who make a great case for individualism
and "the right
of self-determination." The individual's
strong
statement is this: "I belong to myself. No one has
the authority
to require my obedience!"
Now, if God had made us to be mere machines, we would
not have the
power of self-determination. He made us in
His image, to
be moral creatures with the power, but not
the right, to
choose evil. We have the right to be good.
We never have
the right to be bad because God, the Creator, is good. If
we choose to be unholy, we are using a right that is not ours!

That is what I have been
trying to say The Lord said He who fears me shall know my
covenant. Why because fear leads to obedience to obey not just
give lip service.
This bible says narrow is the road few there be that find the
way that leads to eternal life.
Jesus said lay down you life pickup the cross and follow Him. He
did not say go to church once a week and your ok.
He did not say believe in Me by on Me the fact is this works is
taught to have pride in its works to follow the world and what
it wants.
God said that because they had a reprobate mind He would give
them over to unclean things.
Those with a seared conscience and a quenched spirit can read
the word but not be convicted of the truth and be converted in
their hearts unto salvation.
Salvation is a race to be run as Paul said God calls he
justifies He sanctifies how though the convicting o His word to
obedience to Him He who lets the Holy Spirit control Him lives
through Jesus as He died to self at baptism and conviction.
Believe on The Lord Jesus and you shall be saved and your house!
Not have the abundant purpose driven existence!
Take your time examine the difference!
Many are called few chosen live for Jesus here through the Holy
Spirit die to this worlds ways and vanity there is no other path
they leads to escape from wrath and eternal life!
