The idea that God will save people just for being good, sincere, or hardworking is one of the enemy’s most subtle deceptions. The Lord did not give us His powerful commandments just to be written in the Bible, but to be lived out with faithfulness and reverence. Being a “good person” does not replace obedience. Jesus and His apostles obeyed all the Father’s laws and left us the example to follow. It is only when we seek to fulfill each commandment with sincerity and perseverance that the Father is pleased with us, unites us to Israel, and sends us to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “You have commanded your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
