Day 177 Rooted in Obedience | John 15:10

Send us a text

What does it really mean to love God? Today we challenge the common disconnect between feelings and action in our spiritual lives through the powerful lens of John 15:10. Jesus delivers a straightforward message: "When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and I remain in His love."

We live in a culture that champions emotion and passion while often sidestepping the discipline of obedience. Yet Jesus never asked for mere admiration—He specifically connected love with obedience. This episode explores why obedience serves as both the proof of our love and the pathway to remaining connected to God's presence. Obedience costs something; it can feel difficult or even painful at times, but it consistently leads to spiritual fruit in our lives.

If you're experiencing spiritual dryness or distance in your relationship with God, this episode offers a challenging but transformative question: Have you been obeying what God last instructed you to do? Discover how being rooted in obedience creates stability even in seasons of silence or uncertainty. Join us for this soul-nourishing exploration of how obedience keeps us firmly planted in God's love and positions us for spiritual growth. Listen now, and let's rediscover together how the obedient life becomes the fruitful life. Subscribe to Wisdom for the Day for daily spiritual encouragement that helps you face life's challenges with renewed faith and clarity.
