Frequently Asked Questions
Why is obedience important?
Obedience proves our faith and love for God (John 14:15). It keeps us in right relationship with Him, protects us from the consequences of sin, and leads to blessing. Disobedience separates us from God's best.
Is obedience 'works-based' salvation?
No, we are saved by grace through faith, not by obedience (Ephesians 2:8-9). However, true faith naturally produces obedience (James 2:17). We obey because we are saved and love God, not to earn salvation.
