Con: Learn anything new in your obedience class?
Abby: I sure did!

Abby: Obedience is actually just showing respect. So if we respect God, we WANT to obey him. But if we're constantly disobeying him, we should recognize that we're dissing God!

Con: Pardon? "Dissing" God?
Abby: It's a technical term.

Is your prayer time a real fellowship with the Lord? Or do you just spend a lot of time whining and begging for what you want?

Abby:
Dear Diary-To-God...

Today in obedience school, I learned that my master doesn't like it when I just beg all the time.

Abby:
I thought he loved it when I whined and begged in my adorable way. I thought it meant as much to him as it does to me when he would finally just give me a cookie.

Abby:
But now I found out that what he wants most is just to spend some time with me.

Abby:
Imagine that!

Love, Abby

Romans 4:13 – Obedience

By jeff on April 25, 2024 in Comics

Strong faith doesn’t come about because we’re obedient to God’s laws. Instead, obedience to God’s laws comes about because of a strong faith.

Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.

Romans 4:13

↓ Transcript

Nim: Professor Amos, my master and I are fighting lately.
Amos: Sounds like the two of you need a good obedience class.
Nim: I don't think so. We tried that last year and he was no more obedient coming out as he was going in.

Many of us need an "obedience to God" class!
