Holy obedience
In Christian theology, Holy obedience refers to two things: 1) Jesus' obedience unto death that makes atonement and reparation for mankind's disobedience (sins) and 2) Christian obedience to God in imitation of and share in Jesus' obedience. == Nature of Obedience == Obedience, from the Latin obêdire, ("to hearken to"), is "the moral virtue that inclines the will to comply with the will of another who has the right to command." Christ is the exemplar of holy obedience "becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross." "Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him." (Hebrews 5:8) == As a moral virtue == Christian obedience is a free choice to surrender one's will to God, and an act of homage.
