"Obey" is a word that many people struggle with. To many it means that someone other than oneself has the power of what they can and cannot do. But, when we are talking about obey Christ we need to look t things differently. There are benefits to obedience... obedience empowers your witness for Christ; it demonstrates we trust God and it demonstrates that we truly love God, for he who believes, obeys and he who obeys, believes.
