Obedience Is The Key That Opens Every Door

Faith has two parts, but just like the bible that many of you pretend to read and understand, YOU do not want to understand anything of any importance. Hopefully most of you who make it here are some what knowledgeable with some understanding, and have discernment. If you think we are living on a spinning ball with an infinite universe, endless planets and stars, YOU definitely do not understand your bible, and chances are you have zero understanding of faith or obedience. In all respectable fashions of learning, I would like to show you the definitions of these words before I go any further, in all cases of learning you must first learn the true meaning of the word to understand exactly what statement is being made or TAUGHT.

Romans 5:3-6

3 Concerning his Son Yasha Christ our Sovereign, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4 And declared to be the Son of AHAYA with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

6 Among whom are ye also the called of Yasha Christ:

Romans 16:26

26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 

  From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible has a lot to say about obedience. In the story of the Ten Commandments, we see just how important the concept of obedience is to The Most High. Deuteronomy 11:26-28 sums it up like this: "Obey and you will be blessed. Disobey and you will be cursed." In the New Testament, we learn through the example of Yasha Christ that believers are called to a life of obedience. 

Obedience Definition in the Bible

• The general concept of obedience both in the Old and New Testament relates to hearing or hearkening to a higher authority.
• One of the Greek terms for obedience in the Bible conveys the idea of positioning oneself under someone by submitting to their authority and command.
• Another Greek word for obey in the New Testament means "to trust."
• According to Holman's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, a succinct definition of biblical obedience is "to hear God's Word and act accordingly."
• Eerdman's Bible Dictionary states, "True 'hearing,' or obedience, involves the physical hearing that inspires the hearer, and a belief or trust that in turn motivates the hearer to act in accordance with the speaker's desires."
• Thus, biblical obedience to AHAYA means to hear, trust, submit and surrender to The Most High and his Word.

8 Reasons Why Obedience to AHAYA Is Important

1. Yashaya Calls Us to Obey

In Yasha Christ, we find the perfect model of obedience. As his disciples, we follow Christ's example as well as his commands. Our motivation for obedience is love:

John 14:15

If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 

2. Obedience Is an Act of Worship

While the Bible places a strong emphasis on obedience, it's critical to remember that believers are not justified (made righteous) by obedience. Salvation is a free gift of The Most High, and we can do nothing to merit it. True obedience flows from a heart of gratitude for the Grace we have received from the Sovereign:

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to AHAYA because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.   

Romans 12:1

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of AHAYA, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto AHAYA, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of The Most High.

3. AHAYA Rewards Obedience

Over and over again we read in the Bible that The Most High blesses and rewards obedience:

 Genesis 22:18

" 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice."

Luke 11:28
Yashaya replied, " But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of AHAYA, and keep it ." 

But don’t just listen to The Most Highs word, YOU MUST do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then AHAYA will bless you for doing it. 

James 1:21–25 

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

4. Obedience to God Proves Our Love

The books of 1st and 2nd John clearly explain that obedience to The Most High demonstrates love for AHAYA. Loving AHAYA implies following his commands with out question or complaint, Like "It's to hard":

1 John 5:2–3

2 By this we know that we love the children of The Most High, when we love AHAYA, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of AHAYA, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

 
Love means doing what AHAYA has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning. 

2 John 1:6-7

6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Yashaya Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

5. Obedience to The Most High Demonstrates Faith

When we obey AHAYA, we show our trust and faith in him:

And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, "I know God," but doesn't obey AHAYA's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey AHAYA's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Yashaya did.  

1 John 2:3–6 

3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

6. Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice

The phrase "obedience is better than sacrifice," has often perplexed many Christians. It can only be understood from an Old Testament perspective. The law required the Israelite people to offer sacrifices to The Most High, but those sacrifices and offerings were never intended to take the place of obedience.

But Samuel replied, "What is more pleasing to the Sovereign: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of the Sovereign, he has rejected you as king."   

1 Samuel 15:22–23

22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

7. Disobedience Leads to Sin and Death

The disobedience of Adam brought sin and death into the world. This is the basis of the term "original sin." But Christ's perfect obedience restores fellowship with AHAYA for everyone who believes in him:

Romans 5:19

 19 For as by one man's (ADAM) disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

 1 Corinthians 15:22
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 

8. Through Obedience, We Experience the Blessings of Holy Living

Only Yashaya is perfect, therefore, only he could walk in sinless, perfect obedience. But as we allow the Holy Spirit to transform us from within, we grow in holiness. This is the process of sanctification, which can also be described as spiritual growth. The more we read AHAYA's Word, spend time with Yashaya in the whole book, and allow the Holy Spirit to change us from within, the more we grow in obedience and holiness as Bloodline Israelites and other nations alike:

Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the SOVEREIGN. Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts. They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths. You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully. Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees! Then I will not be ashamed when I compare my life with your commands. As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should! I will obey your decrees. Please don't give up on me AHAYA!

Psalm 119:1–8 

1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

2 Corinthians 7:1

  Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of AHAYA. 

The verse above says, "Let us work toward complete holiness." We don't learn obedience overnight; it's a lifelong process that we pursue by making it a daily goal.

KEEP ON PUSHING

UNTIL YOU OWN THE DAY

WE MAY NEVER BE PERFECT, BUT WE SHOULD SURE AS HELL TRY OR DIE FOREVER!

I use definitions so when you say, "Oh he is just making up his own Ideas of what these things mean", you can find these definitions yourself. Don't take my word for it, you can even go look in the Strong's or anywhere else for that matter. I'm just bringing you the truth with no guile whatsoever, hopefully you man or woman up and research.

 Disobedience

dis·​obe·​di·​ence: refusal or neglect to obey 

  
Meaning of Obedience

According to Meriam-Webster, obedience’s definition is “the act or instance of obeying; the quality or state of being obedient.” Likewise, the definition of obedient is “submissive to the restraint or command of authority: willing to obey.” 

It takes only a moment’s reflection to realize that the cost of disobedience has been high. The world as we know it is not the good world The Most High originally created, nor do we human beings much resemble the image of him in which we were first made. Tragically that image has been shattered, and the world is filled with sin, sorrow, and suffering. The “break” began with one act of disobedience by our first parents. By a deliberate choice, rooted in pride and unbelief, they acted in defiance of AHAYA’s revealed will. And their self-centered drive for autonomy has passed down to every human being generation after generation. Perhaps the pervert Woody Allen spoke for YOU all when he famously said, “The heart wants what it wants.”

With our own hands, we forged the chains that bind us, and we now lack the power to free ourselves from them. We want to do what we want to do and cannot escape. Our only hope lies outside ourselves, in the One who loves us and gave himself up for us on that tree, He was the perfect example of an obedient Human.

The Blessings of Obedience

When we grasp an understanding of the blessings of obedience, we find them utterly astounding. Because of his great love, The Most High has made a way for us to be reconciled to him and freed from our bondage to sin and self. Our predicament can be reversed if we will forsake our rebellion and return to him. And this is now possible because AHAYA has sent his only Son to show us how to live and obey the Father. Yashaya came to earth and lived a life of perfect submission and obedience to the Father’s will. The supreme expression of his obedience was submitting to the shameful, humiliating, and excruciating death of crucifixion, which was also the supreme expression of his love for the Father 

John 14:31

 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. 

 In this act of self-sacrificing love, 

2 Corinthians 5:21  

He “who knew no sin” became sin for us “so that in him we might become the righteousness of AHAYA” 

His perfect obedience to AHAYA’s law as God’s loving and faithful Son can now be imputed to us, and our disobedience can be laid upon him, setting us right with AHAYA, a lifeline if we choose it.

Our freedom begins when we respond to the love of AHAYA as it meets us in Yashas call to repent and believe the gospel of

Mark 1:15

 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of AHAYA is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 

 In Greek, these two verbs are in the imperative mood and thus are commands to be obeyed. They summon us to turn from the disobedience of unbelief to the obedience of faith 

Romans 1:5

 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 

And the gift of faith makes this possible for us. Confident trust in Yashaya and his message gives us life, turns us around, frees us, and sets in motion a great reversal in our lives.

The Key to Obedience

C.S. Lewis said, “Obedience is the key that opens every door.” But how do we obey without falling into legalism? Through love and not following the letter of the law. Yashaya said, “IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS” in John 14:15. Just as Yashas love for the Father was expressed in his obedience all the way to the Tree, so our love for Yashaya is expressed in our obedience.

John 14:31

 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. 

John 15:9-11

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Meaning of Obedience

According to Meriam-Webster, obedience’s definition is “the act or instance of obeying; the quality or state of being obedient.” Likewise, the definition of obedient is “submissive to the restraint or command of authority: willing to obey.” 

Furthermore, Hebrew and Gentile obedience means submitting (OBEYING) to the commands (LAWS) of The Most High, the highest authority, creator, and Father of mankind. If you have faith in AHAYA and believe the Scripture is the truth, obedience is the practice of living by faith, OBEYING the teachings of the Bible. Find the best scripture quotes about obedience in Bible verses and find simple ways to practice obedience, you have to some of this on your own, I can't give you everything.

Ephesians 2:2

 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 

Romans 5:19

 19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 

 ~ Joseph the Hesychast  

"…He who is obedient, is an imitator of Christ, and he who is proud and talks back is an imitator of the devil. So let us be careful, whom we are imitating, Christ or the devil…The so-called Christians must be true, in word and deed, and not false, only in name." 

How Is Obedience Shown in the Bible?

Hebrews 11 gives us some great examples of obedience to seek to imitate.

- Abel presented a better offering than Cain.

- Enoch lived his life to please The Most High.

- Noah built a gigantic ark.

- Abraham went on a journey even though he didn’t know the destination.

- Abraham also offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice. 

- The Israelites followed Moses through the wilderness.

- Joshua’s army marched around Jericho for seven days.

- Rahab protected the Israelite spies.

AHAYA spoke, and these people obeyed.

10 Practical Ways to Avoid Disobedience

Your Bible reading, prayer time, and counsel with other believers will reveal specific things that you need to be obedient in that fits your life personally. Some are called to share wisdom and knowledge, like this website, Some are called to show great faith, Some to prophesy, Some may even have a gift of healing. Some have a special anointing to serve. Some are called to encourage or teach. Whatever your personal gifting is, you need to walk in it obediently. It is not just for your sake, but for the common good of many others.

There is also a list of commands in 

Romans 12:9-21 that can help anyone to walk in obedience every day, regardless of what their giftings are. 

 Romans 12:9-21

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Sovereign;

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Sovereign.

20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

These items fall under the category of loving your neighbor, which is the second greatest commandment. They will keep you from being idle. You will avoid disobedience because you will be doing things that honor God. All of us should do these things:

1. Love others. Always work at loving your neighbor as yourself.

2. Honor other people. Lift up their good deeds.

3. Never be lazy. Work hard to serve the Sovereign enthusiastically and often.

4. Be patient in affliction and trouble. Pray instead of complaining.

5. Be eager to practice hospitality. Invite people into your home or to a coffee shop to have a conversation.

6. When people are rude to you, don’t curse them. Pray for them instead.

7. Rejoice when people around you have good news. Weep when they get bad news. Try not to let anyone in your presence feel all alone.

8. Develop humility by looking out for other people and not comparing yourself with them.

9. Do all that you can to live in peace and harmony with others.

10. Spread the Good News of the Gospel as much as you can. Yashaya commanded us to go and make disciples of

 ALL THE NATIONS, NOT JUST OUR BLOODLINE BROTHERS AND SISTERS. 

The 11th way of obedience is this

OBEY AHAYA'S COMMANDMENTS AND THE LAWS PERTAINING TO YOU.

This is the number one and best way to be obedient!
