Works cannot save you. They are only evidence of God’s redemptive work in your heart.
But the unsaved who reject Christ’s atonement for their sins will face judgment for their violations of God’s law.
God’s Law is still in force. It never could save anyone because no one but Christ could keep it perfectly. Christ’s atonement puts God’s holiness and His love in perfect harmony. He made atonement for us. This tempts some to think the only sin still in existence is rejection of Christ. But that is a terrible error and actually degrades the entire meaning of Christ’s sacrifice.
Since when is “Obeying the Commandments” works?
I didn’t say that.
Jesus said repeatedly:
Love God and Love your Neighbor as yourself.
