OBEYING JESUS: A MATTER OF THE HEART In our frustration to find people who are willing to study the gospel with us, willing to obey once they hear it, and willing to continue to be Jesus’ disciple, we must remember that the key word is willing.

OBEYING JESUS: A MATTER OF THE HEART If people are not willing to obey Jesus, there is nothing that we can do but watch them walk away. OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CANNOT BE FORCED

OBEYING JESUS: A MATTER OF THE HEART What Kind of Hearts Do Those Who Obey Jesus Have? God-Fearing Acts 10:2, 33; 1 Pet 1:17 Humble 1 Pet 5:6; Mt 18:1-4; Js 4:10 Tender Js 4:9; Acts 2:37 Submissive Js 4:7; Mt 16:24-25; Gal 2:20
