The Calamity of Disobedience

We should pay attention to what is recorded concerning Adam and Eve and the action by Adam that brought sin and death into this world. It was by his disobedience. We see the misery that it has caused in contrast to what life was like before he disobeyed God. Today, in our dispensation of Grace, we should choose to obey God. Not misapplying Scripture but taking it for exactly what it says. Today all who are saved belong to the Church. We have a better covenant built upon better promises, so we are not to try to take Israel’s promises and apply them to ourselves. We live by grace out from faith; therefore, we are not to live by law. We are able to mature and properly discern the difference between good and evil by using the renewed mind we have in Christ. We are able to overcome our sin nature through the truth. We can walk in the light and fellowship with God. But we can only do this if we obey. Ask yourself, are you willing to obey God today, or do you prefer the calamity our disobedience brings?
