Now go back to Romans chapter number one verse five says by whom we have received grace and apostleship For obedience to the faith among all nations for his name among whom all are ye also the called of Jesus Christ To all that be in Rome beloved of God Called to be Saints grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ so I want you to notice there verse number five it says obedience to the faith and Often, you know false cults or people who believe in a works-based salvation. They'll they'll use that verse very, you know frequently They say see you got to be obedient to the obedient to the faith now I believe obedience is necessary for salvation. Okay. You said what do you mean by that now go with me if you would to 2nd Thessalonians chapter number 1 2nd Thessalonians chapter number 1 and we got to keep in mind that what Satan often does with his apostles of light his angels of light his ministers of light is They will take truth. And what will they do? They're perverted, right? They'll rest it. They'll twist it So yes obedience is necessary for salvation Why is that because 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 verse 7 says and to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus? Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels Inflaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ You see obedience is necessary But to what for the gospel to be saved to call upon the name of the Lord to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ That's what obedience is for that's what it's talking about there It's not about obedience to keeping the commandments of God, right? In fact, the only command that we need to obey in order to be saved is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ And now shall be saved but how many times have we knocked on doors and we talked to people who say well You know, I believe it's by faith, but you know what? You also have to obey God You got to make sure you do your part. You got to make sure that you keep the commandments Well, the Bible teaches us there. Therefore we conclude that a man is not justified by the works of the law It's impossible and in fact if you keep one part the Bible says if you offend in another you've you basically guilty of all So it's impossible, but obedience is necessary
