Obedience is a theme that runs all through Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation. God requires certain things of people. The Ten Commandments is the beginning of it all. God requires His people to be different than the rest of the world, we are to love others, be just in our actions and put God ahead of everything else in our lives, yes, even our families. While I know that sounds harsh on the outside, putting God first in your life is actually the most good you could ever do for your loved ones. God demands respect, honesty to name a few of the qualities He seeks, but more than all Jesus summed it up, just to make it easy to understand.
Matthew 22
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
