Why is Obedience so Important?

          I understand now that the foundation for a spirit filled life in Christ Jesus is Obedience to His word. The very first sin was disobedience and that is really the starting point of every act that leads to sin.
         In every sin there is disobedience! It always happens at the point when the decision is made to give in to sin. That point signifies the turning of your back on the word of God, His precepts and ordinations concerning that particular situation.
         Likewise, for every achievement in the kingdom, it's starting point is obedience.The first step towards any spiritual accomplishment is obedience, the first step towards overcoming any challenge or temptation is obedience.
Obedience is that point where u submit and accept the wisdom of God, and choose consciously to subject yourself to God's will, and to allow his counsel stand.
