John 8:31-32
- Jesus teaches these Jews that intellectual belief is not enough.
- He calls them to believe God enough to trust his will for their lives. This trust is demonstrated by the decision to live according to Jesus’ teaching.
- True faith is seen in our obedience.
- Notice when we will know the truth, after we obey.
2 Timothy 4:2-3
- If the Bible is so powerful and helpful, why aren’t more people truly following what it says?
- Bottom line, we can not live according to our own feelings and desires.
Matthew 15:1-9
- What is another hindrance to following God’s word? Tradition
- Religious tradition which takes precedence over the Word of God can result in worldly solutions to spiritual issues and make our worship of God empty and pointless.
Key Phrase: Sometimes we will not understand the truth until we obey first
