In Obeying God, Monica Burney succeeds in her purpose of showing why God must be obeyed and how that obedience results in a more satisfying life for the Christian; a life anchored in God’s Word and abiding in the Lord Jesus. In doing so, she does not advocate works-righteousness, nor does she denigrate grace; only that there is a right way to walk in Christ. She raises important biblical doctrines with application in a winsome style. This is a well-thought-out work of Christian spirituality: practical and edifying. I hope it enjoys a wide readership.

There are a total of 613 commands in the Bible. Many do not apply to the New Testament Church, but many do. Are God’s commands unreasonable? Does He really expect us to obey all of His commands? As believers, we can become overwhelmed—not only by the sheer number of commands we are asked to obey, but also by the gravity of small, yet, weighty words like “every” and “all” found throughout Scripture.
When Jesus walked the earth, He showed us that obeying God’s commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). He proved that they are doable, as we yield to Him and allow His transforming love and resurrection power to work in us. Only as we walk with Him, moment by moment, can we experience the fullness of His blessings and fulfill our God-given purpose to glorify Him.
