Obeying Jesus
The living Sovereign LORD God of the heavens and earth commands everyone to listen to His Son, Christ Jesus, and obey Christ Jesus’s holy teaching and commands. Christ Jesus is the living and incarnate Word of God (Logos), and the fullness of the living God lived in Christ Jesus our Lord. From the beginning and foundation of creation, Christ Jesus as the living Word of God was the glorious light and life with the Sovereign LORD God and His Holy Spirit to create, govern, and sustain the heavens and earth. The living Sovereign LORD God and His Son Christ Jesus as one are the glorious light and life of the world, and believers of God share and shine that same glorious light and life when we walk in obedience to Christ Jesus’s teachings and commandments.
Since the Old Testament, the living Sovereign LORD God has always commanded the people to walk by faith and love with Him, and to follow and obey His holy ways, commandments, and teachings, so they can find life, wisdom, salvation (healing), peace (shalom), and blessings from heaven. The living Sovereign LORD God’s mercy and love are from everlasting to everlasting to those who faithfully love Him and obey His commandments. Without obedience to the living God, heaven brings destruction, disease, distress, depression, and death. There is no peace (shalom) and blessings for the wicked, rebellious, and evildoer. However, the living God promises to be with and tabernacle with His people, bringing them peace (shalom) when they love and obey Him and His holy ways and commandments, and humbly turn from following Satan’s evil and dark deeds with repentance. The living Sovereign LORD God loves the world, and He wants everyone to also walk in His love, goodness, mercy, and kindness towards others in the world for His glory and honor.
Because of His love for the world, the living Sovereign LORD God sent His Son, Christ Jesus, to teach the world His holy ways and save them from Satan’s sinful living. The teaching, commandments, and words of Christ Jesus come directly from His Holy Father, because Christ Jesus’s teaching is the very words of His Holy Father that He has placed in His Son’s mouth. Christ Jesus has received all power, authority, and dominion from His Holy Father, and Christ Jesus is our Teacher and Lord. The teachings and words of Christ Jesus are life and truth because Christ Jesus is the Author of Life and the Lifegiver from heaven. Also, the teachings of Christ Jesus are authoritative, wise, and powerful because His teachings come directly from heaven. The prophet Moses predicted in the Old Testament that the living Sovereign LORD God would raise up a Prophet who would speak His words, and that prophecy was fulfilled in His Son, Christ Jesus, who speaks God’s words and commandments without limit.
Christ Jesus and His teaching are life and light that give new spiritual life and righteousness from heaven when we, by faith, trust and obey Christ Jesus and His teaching. The teaching of Christ Jesus is His Holy Father’s teaching on repentance and Kingdom living to live holy and godly lives. Everyone who truly loves Christ Jesus also obeys and trusts His commandments and teachings that come from His Holy Father. Love and obedience to Christ Jesus and His teachings lead to God’s abundant grace, answered prayers, right living, and divine blessings from heaven. As we love and obey Him, Christ Jesus sends from His Holy Father the Holy Spirit of God (Helper, Counselor, Advocate) to breathe upon you a rebirth with new life and truth from heaven to live inside our hearts and minds to lead, guide, and empower us into God’s righteousness, goodness, and holy living. In other words, faithful believers of Jesus become united and reconciled as one in body and spirit with Christ Jesus and His Holy Father by the Holy Spirit of God, enabling and empowering us to obey and love Christ Jesus and His teaching. The Holy Spirit is the Promise of heaven, bringing everyone peace, a new spiritual life, and fullness of joy from the Holy Father when we repent of Satan’s dark living and turn with love and obedience to Christ Jesus and His commandments with our whole hearts. Learning and obeying Christ Jesus’s teaching brings rest, salvation (healing), and lasting inner peace (shalom) to our hearts, minds, and souls from heaven.
Christ Jesus’ teachings come in many ways, including His parables in the New Testament, His faithful disciples who spread His Gospel message, and through the Holy Spirit of God, who gives a spiritual anointing from within our hearts to teach us the truthful and holy ways of God. During His public ministry, Christ Jesus taught that some people will accept His holy teachings of obedience with goodness and mercy towards others, which lead to finding heaven’s blessings and hope, while others refuse to repent and reject His teachings, only to find destruction, despair, and eternal death.
Christ Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and He connects everyone to His Holy Father through the Holy Spirit, who wholeheartedly loves Him and obeys His teachings and commandments by faith. John’s Gospel calls Christ Jesus the true and great Vine that connects everyone to His Holy Father, who is the living and true God of heaven and earth. As we connect and obey Christ Jesus and His holy teaching, Christ Jesus reconciles and makes us one with Him and His Holy Father through the Holy Spirit of God. Even more, Christ Jesus sanctifies, washes, and declares us clean and righteous as holy saints so we can bear and produce good fruit and good deeds in the world as we walk and live by daily faith and obedience to Him and His teaching. Christ Jesus brings the fiery Holy Spirit of God (Promise) from His Holy Father to cleanse our hearts and minds, and to bring new spiritual life with peace, so we can live as one with God and produce good fruits and good deeds. In other words, the Holy Spirit of God living inside obedient followers of Christ Jesus always helps believers to live holy lives and produces truth, good deeds, and love for one another. Believers of Christ Jesus who obey Him and follow His teachings receive and produce through the Holy Spirit of God working in their lives and heart a harvest of good fruit and light for the world to see of love, joy, peace, love, kindness, forgiveness, patience, and goodness. Without Christ Jesus and obedience to His teaching, we will die physically and eternally separated from the living God. Even worse, without obedience to Christ Jesus and His teaching, a person experiences Satan’s dark deeds and evil spirit of hatred, idolatry, witchcraft, lies, jealousy, discord, pride with selfishness, drunkenness, and sexual immorality.
Obeying and walking with Christ Jesus means to repent and reject by dying to our dark and selfish desires (the flesh) and living a life by faith and love as instruments of righteousness that seek to please Christ Jesus and His Holy Father for God’s glory and honor. Everyone who refuses to walk in the light and love of Christ Jesus and obey His holy teaching by faith succumbs to separation from the living God, leading to Satan’s darkness, disease, and eternal death. However, love and faithful obedience to Christ Jesus and His teachings reveal that we are truly His disciples, devoted followers, and God’s divine children. Even more, Christ Jesus taught that when we follow Him by faith and obey His teachings, we are no longer His servant but His true friend - a friend of God and also become His fellow brothers and sisters inside God’s Kingdom family. As His friend and disciple, Christ Jesus protects us from the evil one and prays for us with intercessory prayer to His Holy Father.
Christ Jesus and His Holy Father love you with abundant and eternal love. If we obey Christ Jesus’s teachings and commandments, we abide in God’s divine love just as Christ Jesus loved and obeyed His Holy Father. The heart of Christ Jesus’s teaching and commandments is to love the living Sovereign LORD God with our whole heart and to love one another with good fruit of kindness, forgiveness, and mercy. To truly love the living Sovereign LORD God and His Son Christ Jesus is to love and obey Christ’s commands. When Christ Jesus is involved, the only true faith is hearing and obeying from our whole hearts and minds to Christ Jesus and His holy teaching. Faith and love for Christ Jesus also mean keeping His commandments and teaching, which cannot be separated. In other words, faith and obedience with good fruit cannot be separated! Everyone who lives without obeying Christ Jesus and His commandments does not have God nor love God, but everyone who accepts by faith and continues with obedience the teachings of Christ Jesus has truth and lives (abide) in both Christ Jesus and His Holy Father - the only true God of heaven and earth. Christ Jesus and His teachings are a strong and firm foundation (rock) that protects and keeps us when the storms of life come, and Satan attacks our lives.
Christ Jesus lives. Let everyone REPENT of Satan’s evildoing and turn with love to Christ Jesus by following Him and obeying His commandments so they can become fruit-bearing disciples of Jesus with goodness, mercy, and kindness. Christ Jesus is Lord and Savior of the world, so let everyone love and trust Him with wholehearted obedience. Jesus is Lord!
