Are those who don’t keep God’s law really of God?

Whosoever does not Keep God’s Ten Commandments as they are is living without faith in iniquity(lawlessness). Transgressing His Commandments by living a law unto their own self. A law base on their own reasoning, judgment, capacity and subjective standard of righteousness and ethics. 

However godly they may appear, it is only a form of godliness that denies the power of God through faith in accordance to His word. Faith is reduce to human effort and strivings, and the reality of the Scriptures are ignored. His belief is merely intellectual and practical atheism. Having no spiritual discernment to see beyond what he can see. To be able to see deeper into God’s word and not just on the surface. David said, “ Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.“ Psalm 119:98

And works becomes the justification.  As a consequence, the message of the Gospel is rejected. For man does not believe he is such a sinner as God’s Commandments tells him, pointing to Christ. He does not desperately see his need for Him. And He does not believe after being shown such grace by God he should obey Him to keep them.

For true Justification by faith is to keep God’s Commandments because He sent His son to pay the penalty for our transgression of it, that we may receive grace. The fact of choosing to no longer live in transgression demonstrates that we have faith. Believing Jesus Christ died for our salvation. Obviously, not to keep the commandments as a means to salvation, but to keep the commandments because we have faith in Him as our salvation.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
