The Importance of Immediate Obedience

Immediate obedience is a hallmark of holy fear. Bevere stresses that delaying obedience communicates that God’s will is secondary to personal priorities, which dishonors Him. 'When we are slow or neglect to obey God for any person or purpose, we honor that person or purpose above honoring God.' Holy fear compels us to act promptly, trusting that God’s instructions are always for our ultimate good.
