Initially Abraham’s obedience was partial at best. God told him: “‘Leave your country, your family, and your father’s home…” (Genesis 12:1 MSG). He left his country and his father’s house but he took his nephew Lot with him and suffered the consequences. His herdsmen fought with Lot’s herdsmen creating a family split. Lot and his family ended up in Sodom and barely escaped with their lives when the Lord destroyed that wicked city.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.’”
— Matthew 7:21 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, if there is any area in my life where I am not fully obedient show it to me that I may repent. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
