Obedience To God

When don't we have to obey God?  

Ask the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:7-8  "took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.".

John 8:29  "I do always those things which please him."

 

 
C. H. Mackintosh wrote:

“Obedience is due from us to God’s Word, simply because it is His Word. To raise a question, when He has spoken, is blasphemy. We are in the place of a creature. He is the Creator; He may, therefore, justly claim obedience from us. The infidel may call this “blind obedience,” but the Christian calls this intelligent obedience, inasmuch as it is based upon the knowledge that it is God’s Word to which he is obedient. If a man had not God’s Word, he might well be said to be in blindness and darkness... All that we want to know is that God has spoken, and then obedience becomes the very highest order of intelligent acting....”
    “There is blessing in every act of obedience; but the moment the soul hesitates, the enemy has the advantage, and he will assuredly use it to thrust the soul further and further from God.”
