Episode 72: Compliance vs. Conformity vs. Obedience
Manage episode 424330263 series 3370653
Though seemingly similar, there is a difference between compliance, conformity, and obedience.
Compliance is when a person adapts their behavior to direct requests, often from a peer or authority, without necessarily agreeing internally.
Conformity is adjusting one's behaviors, attitudes, or beliefs to align with those of a group, driven by the desire for social acceptance or to fit in.
Obedience is following explicit instructions or commands from someone in a position of authority, usually involving a clear power dynamic.
Compliance is fear based, conformity is needs based, and obedience is love based.
God wants us to obey Him, He wants us to love Him and because we love Him, we keep His commandments.
