Obedience The key to understanding the Bible is not scholarship, but obedience. This is not to undervalue scholarship, but to give obedience its rightful place. To understand the Bible it is essential to have… A prayerful attitude. An earnest, inquiring mind to search. A meditative spirit. An obedient heart. • Obedience is the secret of knowledge: “If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine” (John 7:17). • Obedience is the secret to happiness: “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them” (John 13:17). • Obedience assures God’s fellowship: “Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you” (Philippians 4:9). • God places the value of obedience above the highest forms of service and sacrifice: “Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams” (1 Samuel 15:22).
