#obedience

Read through the most famous quotes by topic #obedience




Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God. Some people mature into an understanding of God’s will more quickly than others because they obey more readily; they more readily sacrifice the life of nature to the will of God.


Oswald Chambers

Johann Baptist Metz

Elisabeth Elliot

It is the will of God that we live not only as rational beings, but as "new men" regenerated by the Holy Spirit in Christ.

We are born men without our consent, but the consent to be sons of God has to be elicited by our own free will.


Thomas Merton
