The real reason so many gentiles reject God’s laws is that they see them as a nuisance. For them, it is much more comfortable to live without restrictions, doing as they please. The false doctrine of “unmerited favor” eliminates this nuisance, suggesting that since God saves those who do not deserve it, obeying the commandments is irrelevant. They even believe that those who strive to obey are condemning themselves to the lake of fire. The problem is that neither God’s prophets nor Jesus taught anything so absurd. Jesus taught us that it is the Father who sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws He gave to the nation He set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant. God does not send rebels to His Son. | “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and do it.” (Luke 8:21)
