The Bible is clear and unambiguous. Obedience is the key to blessing. In fact, the Bible presents a rather one-sided perspective when it comes to obedience. In Acts chapter five, the contrast between the results of obedience versus the results of disobedience could not be more clear. We saw the results of disobedience in verses 1-11 with Ananias and Sapphira last week. Today we discover the results of obedience in verses 12-42.
- When believers obey, people are blessed, vv. 12-16.
- When believers obey, God is at work, vv. 17-26.
- When believers obey, the message goes forth, vv. 27-32.
- When believers obey, deliverance takes place, vv. 33-40.
- When believers obey, joy is experienced, vv. 41-42.
Obedience is the key to blessing — both yours and others.
