It is impossible to escape the contradictions of the doctrine of “unmerited favor.” When confronted about whether it is necessary to obey any commandment to achieve salvation, its defenders are left without an answer. If they say it is not necessary, then any Christian could steal, kill, and still enter heaven. If they say it is necessary, then salvation is no longer unmerited. They try to escape the contradiction by talking about rewards in heaven, but that does not concern salvation. The truth is that Jesus never taught this. He taught that it is the Father who leads us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws given to the nation He set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant. God does not send declared disobedients to the Son. | “You have commanded Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.” Psalms 119:4
