Obedience is not without Passion

Deep theology, simplified. Paul writes in Acts ch3, like he is explaining faith vs. Works to an audience today. Amazing how things really don't change! He begins with focusing on God and His righteousness. This is the answer to why God allows bad things to happen to good people (see also 3:23). He then proceeds into how we are all in sin together. Next, he writes about how Christ took care of what we could not. Finally, he notes that faith is what matters, but through true faith, you will obey. You might say we become domesticated in God's house...we obey, but that doesn't mean our spirit is broken or we don't have passion. We should be like the dog, wagging our tail joyfully when the master is near...and He always is! Ch3 is great ammo to use when attacked by nonbelievers. Woof
