Willing to obey. Obedience is very important to God, so much so that the Bible tells us in John 14:15, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." Our willingness to obey God shows Him how much we love Him. How many Christians will pray and ask God to answer their prayers, and at the same time, they are disobedient to God by doing things they know to be wrong. This can't possibly be pleasing to God!
