Jeremiah 35 – MODEL OF OBEDIENCE

The Rechabites in this chapter show us some very good lessons about obedience which we should apply to our own lives.

OBEDIENCE IS TESTED Vss. 1-5

Just as the Rechabites had their obedience tested, we too will have our obedience to God tested. 

OBEDIENCE SHOULD BE TENACIOUS Vss. 6-11

Will we be as obedient to God as these people were to the commandment of an ancestor?  They were firm in their stand of obedience.

OBEDIENCE WILL BE A TESTIMONY Vss. 12-17

Their obedience was a testimony to Israel.  Our obedience will be a testimony to saved and unsaved people. 

OBEDIENCE WILL BE TRIUMPHANT Vss. 18-19

God will reward the Rechabites.  God will award the obedient Christian at the Judgment Seat Of Christ. 1 Corinthians 4:1-5, 2 Corinthians 5:10
