James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Similarly, with believing in Jesus, the one who truly believes would be led to walk in harmony with what Jesus says, including, submitting themselves to be molded and led by His Spirit. This would inevitably include keeping the commandments of God as folks are empowered by The Spirit to do so.
The motive power comes from God but the choice is ours and then, as persons choose good over evil and right over wrong, the Holy Spirit etches God’s law in the conscience, so that the principles of the law are entrenched in the forehead, where one’s decisions are made.
Therefore, those who are going to heaven ultimately will have submitted themselves to have this critically important work done in their lives. The productions of The Holy Spirit in a person’s life, always lead to obedience. It cannot be otherwise, for this is how God’s image is renewed in the heart.
Hebrews 8: 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
