Obedience pleases God.

Genesis 7.5
And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.

--> There's nothing more pleasing to God than obedience. Samuel said to Saul, 'To obey is better than sacrifice'. Mary said to the servants, 'Do whatever He tells you'.

When you read Hebrews 11 which is also known as Faith Hall of Fame, you see every person enlisted in the chapter was an obedient person. They heard what God said and did exactly what he said. Jesus said if you love me, you will obey me. By his death, burial and resurrection, Jesus made us new creations, he made us the righteousness of God, he made us sons of God and the seed of Abraham. He resuced and delivered us from the dominion of darkness, sin, sickness, poverty, curse and spiritual death. He loved us first even when we didn't deserve it.

Your obedience is a proof of your love for him. The only way you can love Jesus is by obeying what He has said in His word and what He says through the Holy Spirit. Make a quality decision to be an obedient child of God. As you walk in obedience, you will experience the manifestation of Gods glory and His best in every area of your life. Isaiah says,'If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land'. Remember, we love because He first loved us. Shalom.
