The Secret of True Obedience Issue 1.20 "The secret of true obedience -- let me say at once what I believe it to be -- is a clear and close personal relationship to God. All our attempts after full obedience will be failures until we get access to His abiding fellowship. It is God's holy presence consciously abiding with us that keeps us from disobeying Him. "Defective obedience is always the result of a defective life. To rouse and spur on that defective life by arguments and motives has its use, but their chief blessing must be that they make us feel the need of a different life, a life so entirely under the power of God that obedience will be its natural outcome. The defective life, the life of broken and irregular fellowship with God, must be healed and make way for a full and healthy life; then full obedience will become possible. The secret of true obedience is a return to close and continual fellowship with God." - Excerpted from Andrew Murray, The School of Obedience (Moody Press) Life Action Points:
