The Liberty of Obedience

Paul says you have to work the gift of salvation into every nook and cranny of your life, and that you do that through spiritual disciplines. That’s how you change. 
But the modern mind finds some of these disciplines more appetizing than others. The idea of meditation is sort of cool. But obedience? That’s not very appetizing. And yet, this discipline tells us that you don’t get changed unless you’re willing to come in under the authority of God.
Let’s look at what Psalm 119 shows us about 1) what’s wrong with trying to be your own ultimate spiritual authority, and 2) how you can put yourself under God’s authority in a way that’s transforming and not stifling.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 14, 2002. Series: Psalms: Disciples of Grace. Scripture: Psalm 119:32-49.
