Because I Said So: A Biblical Study of Obedience

A biblical study of obedience

Because I Said So.

It’s a phrase that most of us know well. Maybe your parents tossed it out as a superior command when you refused to go to bed on time. Or perhaps a teacher told you to write another paragraph, “because he said so.”

As a parent, I find the phrase rather tempting. I mean, why must I defend every single thing that I ask my kids to do? Can’t they just obey because I said so? Perhaps you can relate.

Does the phrase have any merit? Should one obey simply “because I said so?”

The answer is actually yes AND no. The Bible does call out children to obedience just because we said so, BUT if that is the only reason that we ever give them, they will miss the most important truths about real obedience.

Why should we obey?
