I agree, even about the statement we are to be "OBEDIENT regardless of how we "feel". I hope I didn't give the impression that I was saying we are obedient in relation to how we feel. My feelings will more often than not lead me to sin. We are obedient out of the new nature, out of pure, undefiled love to Him. All is of grace, I'm not better than the next person with an ability to love more than the next person. If He shows me any favor. If I love Him more each day, it is because I see more and more of my own sin. I have nothing to boast in, but to be even more humbled for my own wickedness and His great mercy and grace. Luke 7:47 "for this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little." NASB It just dawned on me, that may be the problem with a lot of churches today, sin is hardly ever mentioned, so people love little because they don't see their sin.
