God's
desire for man's obedience is found throughout the Bible. These studies
include the life of Peter as he learned obedience from his master, Old
Testament accounts of Adam, Saul, Abraham, Joshua, Jeremiah, Malachi, and
others and their attitudes toward obeying God. The temptations of
Jesus in the wilderness and his response with the written Word is the subject
of chapter four. The fifth chapter discusses our lord's obedience
unto death and how we now enjoy the benefits of his obedience. The
next two chapters cover the disobedience of the flesh and the solution
to sin. Chapter eight considers the attributes of a committed life,
and the final study reviews seven things a believer must have abounding
in his life to live a fruitful life today with rewards throughout eternity.
"Obedience must be rooted in trust
. . . The more we learn to trust God, the more willing we are to commit
our lives to Him."
From Chapter 5: "Jesus Christ:
Obedience unto Death"
