JUST OBEDIENCE
May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance. (2 Thessalonians 3:5)
The knowledge of God is to lead to obedience, there exists no second option. The world will learn this when it is too late. But you brother or sister, be thankful, very thankful for you know far better.
Jesus will punish those who do not know His Father, thus they do not know Him either. There is agreement or not with the gospel.
Martin Luther taught that obedience is the crown and honor of all virtue.
Mankind either obeys their maker, or delights in wickedness. Wickedness receives no crown and holds no honor.
... all will be condemned who have not believed the truth and delighted in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2:12)
Brother or sister, your salvation is release from wickedness and its judgement.
Righteousness carries its own rewards, wickedness bears its own punishments.
Let the Lord direct you heart alone. Firstly you'll be drawn into His good, pleasing and perfect purposes for you, then eternally into His presence.
Winning the spiritual conquest that is our brief pass across earth is to your complete profit, joining heaven's forever perfect chorus awaits:
Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God almighty,
who was, and is, and is to come. (Revelation 4:8b)
