The defenders of the false doctrine of “unmerited favor” believe that the God of the Scriptures is flexible, that His laws do not need to be strictly obeyed. That is why they often say that, although a person does not need to do anything to be saved, they ”should try” to obey the commandments. This ”should try” implies something not mandatory, but merely optional. God knows exactly what they are doing, and they will have a bitter surprise at the final judgment. It was for them to be obeyed that God gave us His laws through the prophets and through Jesus. The Lord is not a God of uncertainties, but of clarity. Those who love and obey Him, He sends to Jesus; but those who know His laws and ignore them are not sent to the Son. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
