God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law. Proverbs 28:9
In Isaiah 66:15-17, we see that in the context of the Lord’s return, when He returns, He is clearly upset that people are eating pork. If He cares then, why would we assume that He does not care now?

For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith.

Many are called but few are saved. Matthew 22:14

And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God;

God has pronounced that the penalty of sin is spiritual death and separation from God in a place of judgment called hell: “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Jesus clearly taught that sinners were condemned in sin and would perish and go to hell if they didn't believe in Him as their Savior (John 3:16-18).

What are the 21 steps to salvation?

                1 John 3:4 Whosoever committed sin transgression also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

  1. Hear the True Gospel. (Matthew 4:17 John 8:32)

  2. Believe the True Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31)

  3. Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30)

  4. Confess faith in Yeshua Messiah (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32)

  5. Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38)

  6. Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10)

  7. For all who obey him eternal salvation Hebrews 5:9

  8. Whoever claims to live in him must live as Yeshua did.1 John 2:6 

  9.  But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:2

  10. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:1

  11.  We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32

  12. “whoever calls on the name of the Yeshua Messiah shall be saved.Romans 10:13-15 For 

  13. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-26 

  14.  That whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have eternal life…John 3:15,16

  15.  For we live by faith, not by sight. (Hebrews 11:6) And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.2 Corinthians 5:7

  16. And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3:

  17. Yeshua Messiah replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:3

  18. So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. James 2:17-23

  19. You must worship God in TRUTH and SPIRIT John 4:24
  20. You must endure until the end to be saved. Matthew 24:13
  21. ​We must be grafted into Israel. Romans 11:11-31

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

Galatians 3:14

Explanation

Obedience is a requirement for receiving the Holy Spirit, along with faith in Christ's sacrifice. Repentance, or turning away from sin and toward obedience, is also required. 

The Holy Spirit gives guidance and companionship, and enables people to obey, kill sin, and be sanctified. 

Some say that God's promises to those who obey him include: 

  • Being blessed

  • Being saved

  • Being watched over

  • Being taken care of

  • Being given what you ask for

  • Being happy

  • Living longer

  • Lacking nothing good

The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 

The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart.

The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living.

Reverence for Yehovah is pure, lasting forever.

The laws of Yehovah are true; each one is fair.

They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold.

They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.

They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7

 

The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond, it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47

  1. God's Law Reflects God's Character (Who He Is):

    • The ultimate source of all truth is God Himself. He is perfectly holy, just, righteous, good, and loving.

    • His law, therefore, is not arbitrary rules, but an expression of His very nature. It reveals what is inherently true, good, and right because it stems from the perfectly true, good, and righteous God.

    • Psalm 119:142 says, "Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth." This verse directly links God's righteousness (His character) with His law being truth.

  2. The Law as Divine Instruction and Revelation:

    • In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word "Torah" (often translated as "Law") literally means "instruction," "teaching," or "guidance." It's not just a list of prohibitions, but a comprehensive revelation of God's will and wisdom for how humanity should live and how they can have a relationship with Him.

    • Since God is truth, His instructions are true. They accurately describe reality, the nature of good and evil, and the path to genuine life and flourishing.

    • Psalm 19:7-9 beautifully describes the law: "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." Notice the consistent emphasis on truth, purity, and righteousness.

  3. The Law Exposes Sin and Points to Reality:

    • The law serves as a mirror, showing humanity its imperfection and sinfulness in contrast to God's perfect standard. In this sense, it is "true" because it accurately diagnoses the human condition.

    • Romans 3:20 states, "for through the law comes knowledge of sin." The law truthfully reveals what is wrong, what deviates from God's intended design for creation and humanity.

  4. Jesus Christ Embodies and Fulfills the Law/Truth:

    • Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). He is the ultimate revelation of God's truth.

    • He also stated that He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). He perfectly lived out the Law and, through His sacrifice, perfectly satisfied its righteous demands on behalf of humanity.

    • Therefore, the truth found in the Law ultimately points to and is embodied by Jesus Christ.

  5. The Law Guides Towards a True and Abundant Life:

    • Living in accordance with God's law, empowered by the Holy Spirit, leads to a life that is truly abundant, meaningful, and aligned with God's design. This is not about earning salvation, but about living out the reality of being a new creation in Christ.

    • The moral principles embedded in the law are timeless and beneficial for human flourishing, regardless of one's belief system. For example, honesty, faithfulness, and respect for life are universally recognized as good.

In summary, when we say "the law is truth," we mean that God's law is a direct reflection of His unchanging, perfect, and truthful character. It is a divine revelation that accurately defines reality, distinguishes right from wrong, exposes sin, and ultimately points to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of all truth and the source of true righteousness. It provides guidance for a life that is genuinely good and pleasing to God.
