Do As the Lord Commands

Leviticus 16:34 KJV
And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
My concern today is in the phrase, "...And he did as the Lord commanded Moses."

The prayer of my heart and the cry of my soul is that those God allows me to preach to will do as we are commanded in the Word of God.

We all have our excuses
We all have our weaknesses
We all have our preferences in life


But there is not a man alive who will not one day give an account concerning our obedience to the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Revelation 20:12 KJV
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

The first and most important act of obedience is to submit to Jesus Christ for salvation and forgiveness of sins. Without this no man will enter into heaven. But even as Christians, we are responsible to not only hear but to heed God's Word.
