Christ obeyed completely according to the word of God
Jesus learned obedience from what He suffered and was made perfect. Obedience is a virtue that we have to learn to become complete beings of heaven.
Heb 5:8-10 『Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.』
No one can be perfect without obedience. Jesus was made perfect by becoming obedient to God, even to the point of death. His perfect obedience led those who obey Him to follow the will of God. If we fully obey God's will and deliver it to others, the person who hears from us will also fully obey the will of God and be saved. So, the Bible says that Christ became the source of eternal salvation. Salvation is based on obedience.
Phil 2:5-12 『Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death?even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, … and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed … continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,』
If we rely on our own strength and ability rather than obey God's word, we will have no reward from God even though we do our worldly affairs magnificently, just as the people received no reward from the king although they made the seeds?not the ones given by the king?bloom beautifully. God is looking for the people who are obedient to His word, like the owner of the pot containing the original boiled seed. He highly exalts those who obey Him completely like Christ.
"I have lack faith, and easily fall into temptation. I am lazy to do the work of God." If you feel that, think about whether or not you are following the will of God obediently. The person who is fully obedient to God's will has a burning faith and does not fall into temptation. A heart of disobedience causes us to have worldly desires and fail to have hope for the eternal kingdom of God. We should always obey and work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Salvation is impossible apart from obedience. The Most High God came in the flesh and set an example of obedience. He showed us the way to complete salvation by being obedient even to the point of death, as the prime example for us to follow. In our life of faith, our obedience must always be based on the obedience of Christ.
To be continued.
