To be saved by God, we must have faith.
However, it is not easy to judge whether we have faith or not, because faith is within us, not what we see.
So how can we prove that we have faith?
God is showing us that obedience is the way we prove our faith in Him.
If a person says that he believes in God, but doesn't obey what God has commanded us to keep, is it right for that person to really believe in God? Such a person does not believe in God.
Faith can be demonstrated through obedience to the Word of God.
All members of the Church of God believe in Elohim God, the Holy Spirit and the Bride, Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.
We keep the New Covenant Sabbath and Passover as proof of our faith in Elohim God.
We are proving our faith by keeping the ordinances and laws that God has commanded, and through that faith, we receive the forgiveness of sins and the blessing of salvation.

Amen! Of course, we need to have faith to get salvation. However, faith itself is not enough. We also need to keep God's commandments as well as faith. Those who say that they believe in God with lips but do not follow the teachings of God cannot get salvation. The Sunday service and Christmas are not God's commandments. Those who follow man-made rules such as the Sunday service and Christmas worship God in vain.
[ Matthew 15:7 ] You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: “‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
Instead, we must keep the Sabbath day and the Passover of the new covenant to enter the kingdom of heaven. Today, only the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) observes the new covenant by following the teachings of God.
Not all who believe in God will get their goal of eternal salvation. Then, who will enter the heavenly kingdom among many people?
Whoever wants to be saved must possess firm belief on the Spirit and the Bride whatever happens to him.
We come to face all kinds of situations on our way to heaven. Some of them seem to be so serious and beyond our ability.
Nevertheless, we have to overcome them, keeping in step with the teachings from the Spirit and the Bride. The unfailing love of Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother is so deep and warm. When we obey Them, Their love will lead us to the kingdom of heaven.
In Ephesians, the bible says faith without practices is death. Also, John wrote those who do not keep the laws of God are people who speak lies. Jesus said believers who keep man made rules worship Him in vain. The laws of God is so important for the people of God. We must keep all the commands of God which Jesus allowed us in this age so that we know God and receive salvatioin.
Amen. If we have a true faith, we should keep the words of God. 2000 years ago, Jesus said that if you love me, you will keep my commandments. So, as God's people, we should keep God's laws. The feasts of the New Covenant and the Sabbath are the commandments of God. So let's keep it and enter the kingdom of heaven!
The Bible says that we will be saved by faith, but it doesn't mean that there is nothing we have to act for being saved, once we have faith. Faith is essential to be saved but that's not all, we have to practice what God commands with obedience. based on our faith.
Humans are truly amazing creatures. If it fits my moral ideas and values, we are agree. But it is worth more than that. But there are also truths that do not change for us. It's like dying without air. God is the same. God the Father and God the Mother gave birth to our soul, so it is like our life and like the air. So shouldn't we obey God's word?
Amen. we can show our faith by our actions following the teaching of God. To receive blessing from God, we have to try to obey God's commandment eagerly.
We must obey the words of God if we believe in God.
[1John 2:3~6]
3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God[a] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
2,000years ago, Jesus Christ had set us example that we should do as He had done for us. He kept the Sabbath Day, Passover as New Covenant, etc. We also have to keep the 7 feasts in three times to enter the kingdom of heaven.
I believe in the Holy Spirit Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, who are the saviors of this age, and I will become a child of God who keeps the New Covenant Passover and God's ordinances until the end as the evidence of that faith.
Should we believe in God, the outcome must be the 'Obedience'!
When we obey God's word, we can feel God's will and receive promised blessings.
The act of obeying the word of God is in direct proportion to faith, so it is our duty to follow whatever God says. cuz we believe in Elohim God and trust in Their promise for our salvation!
