Thought Questions:

A. Describe how you might feel if you knew that God was not with you – nor was He going with you – as you faced life's physical, mental, and spiritual battles… because of your sin. This thought brings tears to my eyes and breaks my heart. I talk to God all of the time, daily and hourly. The thought of Him not being there anymore is more than I can bear or imagine. I think I would sink into the deepest depression. David addresses this feeling in a couple of His Psalms. Read Ps. 51 which David wrote after he sinned with Bathsheba. He is pouring out a broken heart as he begs for God's forgiveness. This Psalm always brings me to tears as I remember my own weaknesses. In verse 11 he begs God, "Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me." Ps. 38 also shares David's anguish over his sin and how it affects him physically. A life without God is empty and meaningless as Solomon says in Ecclesia stes. Everything in life is vanity. Eccl. 12:13 says, " Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments , For this is man's all ." I don't EVER want to be without my God.

B. God repeatedly tells the Israelites that they must obey Him completely to receive His blessings. Find scriptures in the New Testament that emphasize the need for total and complete obedience to His word. Acts 5: 32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him."

Heb 5: 7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

Heb 11 talks about all of those in the OT who were blessed because they obeyed Him.

Rom 1:5 Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

Rom6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

II Cor 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled .
God offers grace because we cannot ever earn our salvation, but at the same time he expects obedience to His will and we can't be saved without our obedience.
