If the doctrine of “unmerited favor” came from God, Jesus would have taught us everything about it, for He taught everything the Father commanded Him. He would have said that believing is enough to be saved, without the need to obey His Father’s laws, as this doctrine teaches. The warnings of the Sermon on the Mount would make no sense, such as the warning that merely looking with desire is adultery, or that hating someone is like killing; that we must forgive to be forgiven, and others. The truth, however, is that Jesus did not teach this doctrine, nor did He delegate anyone to teach it after Him. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.” John 12:48-49
