In Nehemiah 1:9, it’s clear that returning to God is only the first half of what God wants from his people. The other half is obedience. In order for God to release his blessings on his people, he requires them to return to him and obey him.
In the original Hebrew, that word “obey” in the NIV was actually two seperate concepts translated in some modern translations like this:
…if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them…
Obedience itself has two halves. Keeping God’s commands and doing them. In this message, I describe the difference and how the one makes the other possible.
What does it mean to obey God? How do I do it? For a start, listen to this message.
