47. JUST OBEY
-
Just as God who reigns on high,
Spake to men in days gone by;
So the Lord is calling men today;
And, my brother, this is true,
Whatso’er He says to you,
There is but one thing to do –
Just obey.
Chorus:
Just obey…… Just obey….
Is the way…. God’s way
When His message comes to you,
Just obey….Just obey.
-
If you’re in the Saviour’s hands,
You must do as he commands,
For there is no other gospel way;
Never put the message by,
Never stop to reason “why”
When the Saviour speaks to you –
Just obey.
-
If for mansions fair you sigh,
In that land beyond the sky,
After time with you has pass’d away;
Tho’ the way you may not see,
Christ is calling, “follow me,”
Faith and duty both will cry –
Just obey.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
