...the obedience that comes from faith.
- Romans 1:5b (NIV)
I was just pondering this this morning. Naturally, Christianity is a faith-based work; obedience comes after faith, in response to faith in God, and his Son, attested to by his descent from David and the power of the Holy Spirit.
But as I read it to Micah, I was considering the obedience that we want our children to have. Godly children should obey their parents. Does that obedience also come about through faith?
