The Bible is also full of the promises of God, but they are all based on conditions. Those conditions are whether we obey His Word or disobey His Word. If we obey and do what He has told us to do, we receive His promises. Likewise, if we disobey and refuse to do what He has told us, then we don't get to enjoy His promises. We live our everyday lives obeying or disobeying. Our quality of life can be measured by our willingness to do things God's way or by doing them our way. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, from that day forward, we are to strive to live a life of obedience to Him and His Word. It is no longer our way of living, but how He said we should live. Our obedience towards Jesus originates from our love for Him.
