  • Obedience is the road to freedom.

    C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.139, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Obedience is the road to freedom, humility the road to pleasure, unity the road to personality.

    C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.139, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • You do not fail in obedience through lack of love, but you have lost love because you never attempted obedience.

  • We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort.

    C.S. Lewis (1960). “Mere Christianity”
  • If you ask why we should obey God, in the last resort the answer is, 'I am.' To know God is to know that our obedience is due to Him.

  • Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live.

    C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.53, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Until you have given up yourself to Him, you will not have a real self.

    Real  
    C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.30, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • I was not born to be free---I was born to adore and obey.

  • [To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.

    Mean  
  • When humans should have become as perfect in voluntary obedience as the inanimate creation is in its lifeless obedience, then they will put on its glory, or rather that greater glory of which Nature is only the first sketch.

    Perfect   Firsts  
    C. S. Lewis (2009). “Weight of Glory”, p.43, Harper Collins
  • I think He made one law of that kind in order that there might be obedience. In all these other matters what you call obeying Him is but doing what seems good in your own eyes also. Is love content with that?

    C.S. Lewis (1996). “Perelandra”, p.101, Simon and Schuster
  • Obedience is the key that opens every door.

  • A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.

    C. S. LEWIS (1947). “THE ABOLITION OF MAN”
