* What is a key benefit of increased faithfulness-obedience?

It increases our appreciation for Christ's love and suffering for us. 

Everything about our present experience, understanding, and conduct should remind us of Christ's love and what he did for us. This is the essence of a “gospel driven” life. 

Our increasing understanding and appreciation of Christ's love and suffering is the engine that drives us to live for the glory of God. This causes us to fall more in love with Christ and the Father. Our faithfulness is driven by love - the Spirit - and our love is driven by our relationship-union with the Source of love and life - the Father, Son and Spirit.
