The Process of PURITY
OBEDIENCE
What exactly does it mean to obey God? Ticking the boxes next to the 10 commandments? Loving my neighbour? Turning the other cheek when someone hurts me? In essence, yes! But also, no! Obeying God with a 'tick-box' mindset is not only doomed to failure, but simply not what God asks of us.
God's love for us is not based on our actions or effort but on His goodness. 1 John 4 explains that love is not about us loving God, but about Him loving us and sending Jesus. When we realise and understand God's grace, we respond out of a love for Him and all He has done for us, beginning to do things as He directs us through His Word, preferring His ways over our own until they become our ways.
Obedience to God, through the Holy Spirit, therefore brings its own reward of purity. Obedience to His Word, under grace, provides us with the opportunity to be more Christ-like. In this way, obedience is also an act of worship, for when we live a life devoted to God we demonstrate our love for Him.
Have you ever thought about obeying God being an act of worship? How can you worship God specifically through your obedience today?

This 40 day devotional is an entry-point for learning about our God and growing in our relationship with Him through the study of revival. We explore the attributes common to history's greatest revivals - being present, prayer, purity, power, personal sacrifice and praise - with hearts open to what they might teach us about God and our relationship with Him.
