Psalm 105: Why Obey?

Obedience We are told to obey… God (Acts 5:29), Christ (2 Cor. 10:5) the faith (Acts 6:7), the teaching (Rom. 6:17), the truth (1 Pet. 1:22) government (Rom. 13:1-7) Parent / master (Eph. 6:1, 5; Tit. 3:1) elders (Heb. 13:17)

Obedience We are told obedience is necessary… For faith (Rom. 1:5; 16:26; Heb. 11:8) For righteousness (Rom. 6:16) For salvation (Heb. 5:9) For God’s children (1 Pet. 1:14)

Obedience Out of a sense of duty (Lk. 17:10) Out of a sense of fear (Phil. 2:12) But, is there any other motivation?

Psalm 105 God’s people are called upon to declare the Lord’s marvelous works (vv. 1-6) The Lord’s marvelous work with the patriarchs (vv. 7-15): Gen. 12-36 The Lord’s marvelous work with Joseph in Egypt (vv. 16-23): Gen. 37-50

Psalm 105 The Lord’s marvelous work in the exodus from Egypt (vv. 24-43): Ex. 1-17 The Lord’s marvelous work in the conquest of Canaan (v. 44): Joshua That they might keep his statutes and observe his laws (v. 45)

Why Obey? The marvelous work of salvation through Jesus (Jn. 3:16; note the L.S. in Lk. 22:19) The marvelous work of the church (Acts 9:31; 1 Thess. 5:14) The marvelous work of providential care (Mt. 5:45; Acts 14:17; Heb. 13:5)

Why Obey? The marvelous work of scripture (2 Tim. 3:15-16) The marvelous work of intercession (Rom. 8:27; Heb. 4:16; 7:25) The marvelous work of answered prayer (1 Jn. 5:14-15)

Why Obey? The marvelous work of protection (1 Cor. 10:13; 1 Pet. 1:5) The marvelous work of heaven (Rev. 21-22) That they (Christians) might keep his statutes and observe his laws

Why Obey? Why obey? Duty? Fear? Note that obedience comes from a profound sense of gratitude and appreciation for all the Lord’s works Note that obedience is built on the solid foundation of history, not mere feelings

Why Obey? Note that both emotions (105:1-6) and observance of law (105:45) are required; not one or the other The key: “remember his marvelous works” (105:5)
