Matthew 4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
When Jesus called eleven of His disciples, He looked for unquestioning obedience to His word, and those who responded, generally obeyed immediately, and this in turn would set the stage for obedience to all future commands that would be coming from Him. The willingness to obey quickly is one characteristic Jesus was specifically looking for.
It isn’t necessary to know or understand everything up front about the Bible, and the Godhead before we obey. Bible studies and explanations often shed increasing light on various truths, but these are not to inhibit any person from manifesting true humility by obeying God, today. What persons can and should do is to start obeying what they know to be right.
The simple truths that have been made plain to our minds ought to be as steppingstones to obedience in greater matters, for it takes time to climb Jacob’s ladder. But for us to wait until we understand the books of Daniel, and the Revelation, would put off salvation for another day, and this can lead to procrastination, the favorite tool of demons and devils.
Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
