From the story of the man born blind we can learn how important it is to obey Jesus fully in order to receive what God has promised us. You can see that principle taught in 1 Samuel 15:22

But Samuel replied, "Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

What the prophet Samuel taught in 1 Samuel 15:22 is applied by the man blind from birth with wonderful results. We will do well if we follow his example.
