Obeying the House Rules for God’s Kingdom: A Call to Yeshua-Believers

As we live as Yeshua-believers, we are called to obey the “house rules” of our Heavenly Father’s household. These rules, outlined in Scripture, prepare us for His kingdom and demonstrate our faith in Him. In this post, we’ll explore the importance of obedience to God’s laws and commands, using only the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible.

The Importance of Obedience

In Deuteronomy 30:19, Yehovah says, “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on you to choose life, so that you and your descendants may live.” This verse highlights the importance of making a choice to obey God’s laws and commands. Obedience is not just about following rules; it’s about choosing life over death.

Seeking Yehovah with Our Whole Heart

In Isaiah 56:2-8, we’re reminded that those who keep Yehovah’s statutes are blessed. This includes seeking Him with our whole heart (Deuteronomy 30:6). When we seek Yehovah with all our being, He lists us among the faithful of Israel and makes His holiness our glory.

Yehovah Knows Our Thoughts

In Jeremiah 17:24-25, we’re told that Yehovah knows our thoughts afar off. He knows what we want and what we do, where we go and when we come to an end (KJV). This passage reminds us that nothing is hidden from God’s sight.

The Reward of Righteousness

Psalm 119:1-4 speaks of the blessings that come from keeping Yehovah’s testimonies. Those who seek Him with their whole heart are not only kept from wrong, but they walk in His ways (KJV). This passage also reminds us that Yehovah has given us a desire to be righteous and has presented His commands before us.

The Wisdom of Seeking Guidance

Proverbs 19:20 encourages us to listen to advice and accept discipline. By doing so, we will be counted among the wise. This verse highlights the importance of seeking guidance from Scripture and from those who are wiser than ourselves.

Conclusion

As Yeshua-believers, we’re called to obey the “house rules” of our Heavenly Father’s household. By choosing to keep His laws and commands, we prepare ourselves for His kingdom and demonstrate our faith in Him. May we all strive to live according to His will and be found blameless in His sight.
