Obedience
John 14:23-24Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
The desire to live their own life, as they see fit, keeps most professing Christians from ever being in Christ.
Until we come to the point and realization that we control nothing and that we are nothing without Christ we are hopelessly lost.
