“God not only loves the obedient - He enlightens them.”

“Obedience is bondage, if God wants to be adored he should make himself more loving.”

“Love for God is obedience; love for God is holiness. To love God and to love man is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and this is salvation.”

“There can be no love for God and our neighbour, nor true obedience to God, until he gives each of us a new and teachable heart (Ezek. 36:26-27).”

“Obedience, fasting, and prayer are laughed at, yet only through them lies the way to real true freedom. I cut off my superfluous and unnecessary desires, I subdue my proud and wanton will and chastise it with obedience, and with God's help I attain freedom of spirit and with it spiritual joy.”

“The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.”
