The Fruit Of Disobedience

Obedience is greatly downplayed in Calvinistic theology. Consider, though, just a handful of truths from the Scriptures relative to the imperative nature of our obedience to the will of God.

Disobedience to God...
  1. Forfeits God's favor (1 Samuel 13:14)
  2. Deprives one of God's promised blessings (Jeremiah 18:10)
  3. Provokes God's anger (Isaiah 3:8)
  4. Brings judgment (Deuteronomy 11:28)
  5. Shall be punished (Hebrews 2:2)
Regardless of what Calvin said, the eternal God would have us to know the indispensability of obedience.
