"It takes a humble heart to listen and obey the word of God"
Reading John 14:15-20
Devotional
Our perfect role model of obedience is Jesus Christ. Even in the hardest time of his life when he was in this world(crucifixion) he was able to kept the commands of the Abba Father in order to saved the world by sacrificing his life. He obeyed the father until he died on the cross. Keeping the word of God with obedience is very challenging to us, but Jesus Christ has a promise that he will give us an advocate to help us forever, the Spirit of truth.
We all need the Lord, apart from God we are nothing that's the truth. Jesus Christ came to give us life, he died and rose up again, so now we are alive by God's grace. Whoever believes in him as our Lord, our God and savior we will have eternal life. He obeyed the Father because he loves us not because of any conditions or responsibilities even the world did not recognize and accept him.
Let's stop being worldly so we will be able to recognize the word of God which has the commands and promises. Jesus said,whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
Keeping Jesus Christ teaching and commands is a major command for us. God has a personal conversation with us always, if you hear his word as the bible says do not harden you heart for he blessed the one who hear his word and obey it.
Do you know what Jesus Christ has done for you?
Who is Jesus Christ to you?
Do you love him?
God knows what is inside our heart and mind...

John 14:15-20New International Version
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
Indeed!and people cannot be humbled themselves without knowing Jesus Christ and what he did for us to be Saved from our sins and have a chance to have Eternal Life..
