Welcome to Believe, Obey, Live. This is a site where I gather and share my personal Bible studies. My goal is to present Scripture with a minimum of “private interpretation”, letting God’s word speak for itself.

The name of the site is based on my understanding that if you believe and obey, and endure to the end, you will live:

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name ...

~ John 1:12

If you love me, keep my commandments.

~ John 14:15

Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

~ Revelation 14:12

It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

~ Deuteronomy 18:19

The word "listen" here is shawmah, which means hear/obey.

Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you.

~ Matthew 28:19-20

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [...] One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

~ John 3:16,36
