Love Obeys, Part 1

Scripture tells us those who love God are those who obey His commands. Chip poses two critical questions when we talk about obedience: What can we expect from God? and What does God expect from us? Join Chip for the answers.

Two critical questions

1. What can we expect from God?
2. What does God expect from us?

Church history: Two views concerning God’s expectations

• J. CALVIN
• J. ARMINUS

God’s Word rejects both extremes and hold God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility in “biblical tension” and balance.

• Man’s responsibility -Philippians 2:12
• God’s sovereignty -Philippians 2:13

How do we “work out” what God has “worked in”?

• The command: Be a GRATEFUL servant! -Philippians 2:14
• The purpose: Be a GODLY servant! -Philippians 2:15a
• The result: Be a BOLD servant! -Philippians 2:15b-16a
• The motive: Be a JOYFUL servant! -Philippians 16b-18
