Brother Eli Soriano on OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WILL (PART 1 OF 2)
The primary will of God for us is to keep his commandments (Ecc. 12:13 KJV).
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.source
The will of God, as explained in the video, is God's commandments and laws. (Psalms 40:8).
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.source
Therefore, keeping God's commandments and laws is synonymous to us doing his will. (Matthew 28:20).
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.source
It also goes further to emphasize that to be under God's jurisdiction and care, we have to do his will, which is our gate pass to the Kingdom of Heaven.( Matthew 7:21 KJV).
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.source
It concluded by reassuring us that God stays with us when we keep his word and commandments (John 14:23)
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.source
Our obedience to the will of God is tied to how we understand His commandments
Great lesson
