Obedience vs. Performance

Obedience

Performance

Leads to life

Leads to death

Seeking to serve God with your whole heart

Feeling guilty if you fail to have a quiet time

Finding a way to allow God's presence to dwell in you richly

Quickly scanning a bible passage so you can check off a box on your reading plan

Inviting guests to your home

Feeling anxious that every detail of the house and meal is perfect

Doing your best

Trying to be the best

Saying yes to what God asks

Following man made rules

Springs from a fear of God (respect)

Springs from a fear of failure
