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
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!
