Obedience is a proof of love Don't tell God you love Him unless you obey. Obedience is a mark of conversion, a recognition of authority, a characteristic of faith, and a proof of love. Obedience is the prerequisite to power and effectiveness. A disobedient Christian is useless. The living Messiah commanded him from out of heaven.
Salvation becomes apparent by the works that believers practice.
Paul indicated to Agrippa that Christianity is the logical and necessary sequel to Judaism's past. The central hope of the Jew was the resurrection and a living Messiah. The resurrected One spoke to Paul, who saw His glory and heard His voice. He could do nothing but obey. Christ commissioned Paul into His ministry, and he obeyed instantly.
