The Word April 19, 2006
Obedience & Rebellion

Romans 2: 6-8 (King James Version)
“Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.”

-Yesterday, we talked about the positive outcome of obeying the Lord: “so that it may go well with us,” (Jeremiah 42:6). Today, we will look at what the word says if we choose not to obey. God will bless us according to what we do, both good and bad. The scripture states that if we don’t obey the truth, indignation and wrath will fall upon us.
*Indignation- anger or annoyance because somebody or something
seems unfair or unreasonable.
*Wrath- great anger.

-I do not want God’s anger on me. Lord, please keep me mindful that we reap what we sow. Galatians 6:7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
