Obedience: The Key to Knowing God Better

I often talk with men who want to know God better.

But they want this to happen on their terms.

With God being God, it doesn't work that way--He sets the terms.

And one of the main principles of knowing Him better is this:

The more you obey God, the more you understand Him and His ways.

This truth comes out of the Gospel of John:

“He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will disclose Myself to him (Jn. 14:21).”

Do you see the connection between doing what God says and knowing Him?

When we are obedient, God 'discloses' or 'manifests' Himself to us.

In other words, we gain spiritual insight.

I like the way the Amplified Bible puts it by saying:

"I will make Myself real to him."

One of the tragedies of disobedience is it keeps you in the dark.

But the blessing of obedience?

It brings the light of the Lord into your life and circumstances.

Jesus said it best:

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life" (Jn. 8:12).

Make obedience a habit, and you’ll discover how God lights up your path.
