Obedience

About the Book

What is Obedience? “If one is guilty of one sin they are guilty of all sin.” (James 2:10) Obedience is absolute! Our studies and our experiences make our knowledge and with them we develop the facts of our lives. Our faith must be with works. “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” (James 2:17) One cannot worship without gifts to God. We are all one in Christ. We have freedom of choice. Our lives must be changed. Part Two: The Time Machine There are 66 thirty-year generations since the time of Christ for your review. How do you and your generation compare? Read on and learn the history.
