May the mumbling commence!
Some people have the mistaken assumption that obeying God will limit them in some way. That assumption is a deadly one, because once you turn from obedience you will become a slave to sin. And sin only leads us to death. It is an age-old deception first used by the serpent in the Garden of Eden in his conversation with Eve.
Is the freedom of death what we are looking for? Wouldn’t the freedom to live forever in the presence of the Lord be vastly preferable? True freedom can only be found in obeying God. So, embrace the freedom to be all that you can be. Read from Romans chapter six (NLT):
In those days, when you were slaves of sin, you weren't concerned with doing what was right. And what was the result? It was not good, since now you are ashamed of the things you used to do, things that end in eternal doom. But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. (Verses 20-22)
Don’t believe the lie that by obeying the Lord you are settling for less. Nothing is further from the truth. You will never get the fulfillment of being in line with the will of the Lord from anything or anyone else.
So choose obedience to the Lord. Leave eternal doom behind and pick up the gift of eternal life that is offered to us through Christ Jesus.
Enough mumbling for now…
Peace Out
