What Are The Benefits of Obedience - Day 4

Alright.......my eyelids are half closed while typing this today, so if there's any new words created in this blog today, you'll have to forgive me!

Ok so yesterday we posed the question of "What are the benefits of Obedience?" and we found that the first benefit is that you get to experience the love of God.  Let's look at a second benefit today....

You enjoy the fellowship of God.


If I asked one of you guys to tell me something about your best friend.....something like their name, what they look like, where they attend school, or what makes them special enough to be considered a best friend, I'm sure you could do it.

Reread John 14:23-24 today.

God loved us enough to send His only Son as a sacrifice for our sins.  If we choose to accept Him as our Lord then we can enjoy His presence in our lives.  With His presence also comes His fellowship.  We all like hanging out with our best friend.  There is something special about having someone you can talk to and share things with.  But even your best friend will let you down at some point.  One thing we can count on is that Jesus will never let us down or disappoint us.  God's fellowship with His children is very special for sure!

Have you ever had a close friend disappoint you?  Did you feel betrayed and hurt?  Why?  What happened to the fellowship you enjoyed as friends as a result of the incident?

Do you understand that Jesus wants to have fellowship with you?  Why would Jesus want that type of relationship with us?

What does it mean to have fellowship with God?  And what is enjoyable about that fellowship?

Ok I'll check in with you guys one more time tomorrow and we'll look at one more benefit of obedience!

See ya
