Obedience to God is so important. God wants us to be obedient for many reasons but you will find that being obedient will allow you to live a much fruitful and fulfilling life when you are truly tuned into the instructions of the Lord through the Holy Spirit that is given to you as your helper through this life! When you accept Christ He promised the Holy Spirit but you still can make the choice to ignore the promptings or to follow along. God has many blessings for our lives and some of them He will only allow you to see them once you have done your part!
