“Our faith is demonstrated by doing what we believe God is instructing us to do, regardless of how the circumstances are or turn out. We need to just keep on living as Christly as we can in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.”
That’s well said
“Why do we not obey God?”
I would suggest it’s because we don’t believe correctly . We don’t believe we can or need to now , because Jesus died for our sins and we have faith so therefore we don’t need to do what he says we need to do….
people have forgotten that faith doesn’t substitute for obeying Gods word , it’s actually the principle that gives us the strength to overcome temptation and obey Gods word.
Faith is a tool and shield against the works of our enemy but it’s not a replacement for obeying God. It’s the gift he gives us that makes us strong and able and also it’s the principle that even if we sometimes fail in our obedience he won’t give up on us or throw us away he’s set forth doctrine for us to
Obey when they happens.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:9-10 KJV
“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile. ….I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:……
Psalm 32:1-2, 5-6
I think a lot of people simply don’t believe we need to do anything God said we need to do , we’re already saved by grace and it can never change whether we do anything or not ……because of being taught that or reading it in a book or hearing someone’s idea …..it’s only my opinion though if we believe right , we will then act right by that faith in us
