God always knows what is best for us. By being obedient to God, we show that He is important to us, and that we are willing to do whatever He calls us to do. In order to learn how to be obedient, we can read the Bible and observe what Jesus did. Jesus demonstrated obedience to God through this actions–even to the cross and resurrection–and taught us to obey His commandments through His teachings.
