Wednesday: What Is Good — 8 Comments

  1. Comitment to obedience is our solemn testimony to God. Obedience is our first calling. Even mission is second. To keep sabbath strictly is not to be strict in prohibitions in time but to call God's day a pleasant day a day of holy assembly; to spend it in unity without burdens and strife. Isa 58.

  2. Love God. Love people. Profoundly simple. No measure of gifting can make us right with God. Only Jesus does. Loving obedience to God must mean a life that shows His justice and mercy to all.

  4. In answer to the last question, Sabbath is one day a week, an outward sign unto who we recognize as Lord. Justice, mercy and humility is sacrifice of the heart, mind and soul. It must be done daily, hourly, minute-by-minute and second-by-second, (for evil temptation does not sleep.) It is an inward recognition of the Lord. The only outward display is the fruit we bear by our "sacrifice of self" to God. It is harder to stay consistent when sometimes the reward is not seen visibly but waited upon 'til this time of trouble is closed. May God have mercy on my soul and help me to set my mind to follow Him closely in all things.

  5. God proved his excelling love for the world by giving His son.'s life, our ultimate love can be shown through loving obedience at any cost. If we surrender our wills to Him we can abide in Him as He invites to so His original and eternal plan for the world be known and seen. May God help us all.

  6. It seems to me that Micah 6:8 and the love chapter found in 1 Corinthians 13 go together. We can perform all sorts of sacrifices for God and they will not satisfy Him or us. Love as shown in our deeds, our mercy to others and our humble walking with God day by day is what we need. This miracle of love in our hearts we can choose and God can empower us to live!

  7. The one thing that has really stood out for me in this lesson is view of obedience as a sacrifice... along the same/similar lines as all other types of sacrifices in bible times

  8. Obedience is the only human sacrifice that substituted the animal sacrifice. Therefore, in response of Jesus' love, we need to be obedient, kind, merciful and loving to others. That is what it means to do good.
