Inspired to Obey
Ezekiel 36:27
“And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them” (Ezekiel 36:27 KJV).
Gift of the Holy Spirit
Acts 2:38
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2:38 KJV).
Will and Do
Philippians 2:13
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13 KJV).
If we simply assume we obey because we choose to obey, then we are likely to assume our obedience is due to our good intentions. Yet, we have been plainly told our obedience is due to God inspiring us to obey.
