Help Me, My Saviour Jesus!

A reader wrote to inquire the possibility of anyone observing and fulfilling obedience to Jesus teachings in the Bible.

My reply is that a person must be devout with a heart that is passionate and sincerely devoted in pursuing God’s heart. Then you will experience help from God’s spirit, the Holy Spirit. It’s impossible to live our earthly life to please God without assistance from the Holy Spirit.

We must understand that observing obedience to Christ teachings require a person to place his faith in Jesus to gain help of the Holy Spirit equipping us with the ability to comprehend God’s love for us at the cross. I believe that if a person have not understood God’s amazing mercy, grace and unfailing love in his son Jesus at the cross, then it’s totally impossible to be obedient. An obedient child manages his discernment of God’s instructions by not allowing interpretation of God’s instructions by his human wisdom. An obedient child possess complete faith in God’s instructions through results of very intimate relationship build on constant fellowships.

How is it possible for Abraham to be obedient to God’s command to sacrifice Isaac? How could Jesus die for us when we are still God’s enemies? Both recognize their God, their Creator Father personally through constant fellowship! When your relationship with God is so intimate, you hear and feel Him.

We must be rich in faith to support our obedience. Without faith that Jesus is the Saviour God, it’s impossible to honor obedience to Jesus’ teachings.

The Holy Spirit helps us with our obedience by teaching us to identify that God’s instructions is the primary focus and not the object or subject in question.

How can anyone be obedient to our Lord Saviour Jesus’ teachings to love those we hate to love?

The reason why we grapple to develop a heart of obedience to this teaching is because we allow deception to portray to us that the subject is our enemy, someone we hated instead of just being obedient to Jesus’ teachings to love. We need to understand obedience before we can accomplish obedience. Obedience is not questioning the bequeath to accomplish the assignment (I hope I am phrasing it correctly).

“Abba, Father,” Jesus cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” Mark 14:36. Here we discover and learn how Jesus our Saviour manage obedience. Jesus understood the importance of God’s glory and how much the Father love the son, and knowing that the Father will help him with his obedience by the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ fulfilled God’s will. Similarly, when we experience an uphill task in our obedience to Jesus’ teachings, we must cry out to Jesus to help us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Anyway a more precise and honest answer to possessing an ability to be obedient is that it is impossible to be obedient to God if you do not love Jesus Christ.

How do I personally survive obedience? Each moment of my confrontation with obedience, I asked my Saviour Jesus to help me because in Him, I have the victory!
