Malachi 4:4

Remember the Law of Moses -- Malachi 4:4: As the book of Malachi closed and as the Old Testament closed a final exhortation was given to the Jews to be obedient to the Law of God. The next law for the Jews and all creatures would be the New Covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ. God said, "Do not ever forget the laws and teachings I gave my servant Moses on Mount Sinai." The simple instruction is "obey the Word of God." People cannot disobey the Law of God and claim to be faithful to Him. How important is obedience to God? In the gospel of John we read, "If you love me, you will obey what I command." (John 14:15) You are never more like Jesus than when you are obeying the will of God. Knowing God, serving God and having a personal relationship with God is dependent upon our obedience to God. Obedience is not an optional matter if you wish to go to heaven. In your obedience you will be blessed, but as with all of God's promises there is a prerequisite. You must obey!
