What does it look like to be obedient to God? - Acts 5:17-42 | Prescott Anglican Church

Acts 5:17-42 reveals what it looks like to be obedient to man or to God.

Text: Acts 5:17-42

In this passage, we see two types of obedience: the first stems from the fear of man and self-made obedience, the second stems from knowing God. In this passage, we learn how Christ has fulfilled our obedience for us, and from that, we get to do because God has already redeemed us.

This distinction makes all the difference; the self-made obedience leads to horrible destructions - jealousy, fear of man, and indignation. Obedience to God leads to joy - even in the face of incredible hardship.
