Obey His Word

"The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant."  Jeremiah 11:1-3.  God delivered His word through the prophets.  Today, His word is found in a book that is called the Bible.  This book contains His word which we are to hear and to obey.  The word of God is to be obeyed because God is the Lord.  God has all power and authority.  He is able to build and to destroy.  God either saves or condemns.  His salvation and condemnation depends upon obedience or disobedience to His word.  Those who would not hear Jeremiah would be cursed.  Those who will not hear God in our culture of today will also be cursed.  As we hear and obey the words of His covenant, we are saved by His grace and love.  Our lives are enriched by our service to Him.  Our eternal destiny is secured by our obedience to His word.
