DISOBEDIENCE;
SIN: CONSEQUENCES OF

Of course the Christian can hope for no manifestation of God while he lives in a state of disobedience. Let a man refuse to obey God on some clear point, let him set his will stubbornly to resist any commandment of Christ, and the rest of his religious activities will be wasted. He may go to church for fifty years to no profit. He may tithe, teach, preach, sing, write or edit or run a Bible conference till he gets too old to navigate and have nothing but ashes at the last. “To obey is better than sacrifice.”

1 Samuel 15:22; Psalm 51:15–17; Isaiah 1:11–20; Jeremiah 7:22–24
