     | 4,467 views

    God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025
     | 357 views

    Loyalty without obedience is meaningless. God does not test how much we claim to love Him; He tests whether we will follow His commands. Let us strive to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, walking in full obedience to His will.

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more
