When God gave His commandments, the expectation was clear: that they be obeyed. To reinforce this, God warned His people about the consequences of disobedience, promising blessings if they obeyed and curses if they did not. However, the false doctrine of “unmerited favor” completely distorted the Scriptures. According to this teaching, popular in many churches, obeying the commandments is seen as a risk, as the individual might be trying to ”earn” their salvation and end up condemned. On the other hand, ignoring the commandments would be proof that the person recognizes they do not deserve it, and then salvation is guaranteed. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “You have commanded your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.” Psalms 119:4
