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

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.

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:
Imagine that!

Love, Abby
