Obedient Children of God

Are you an obedient child of God?  Only you and God can answer that.  This weekend we are going to be looking at Bible verses which deal with the subject of OBEDIENCE.

 

Now is a good time to read each of the selected scripture verses and see for yourself.

There are many others.  Perhaps you will want to search your concordance and look at a few more.  Certainly, a subject like obedience, mentioned or referred to numerous times in the Bible, is one which demands our attention.  May we all study and learn to be obedient children of the Father.
