Obedience

I read once of a person who remarked: "I've yet to meet a Christian whose knowledge didn't exceed his obedience." His point was simple: Most Christians know far more about God's truth than they live. Since the Holy Spirit lives within the Christian and is leading us toward greater sanctification (holiness to God), this should not surprising. In order to enable this process, we need to allow the Holy Spirit to direct more of our actions. "For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." - Rom. 8:14 (NASV). Please note the active, "being led." We do this by actively following God’s direction left in scripture. We need to be diligent in searching and seeking God's truth and then acting on our understanding. This should describe our unique individual spiritual journey.
