"The Just Shall Live By Faith" Romans 1:17 and not by rules, laws or religion.
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" Romans 8:14.
Living by faith may involve rules, laws or religion. It certainly involves obedience to God's commands.
How do you know you are being led by God's Spirit? Are there no imitators?
Jesus said, "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
(Matthew 24:24)
Without standards to guide us we can be deceived.
To be led by the Spirit of God is to be led by the Gospel and the fact that you have been justified by faith apart from the law.
Are you thinking the devil does not know the gospel?
Christians are not obligated to obey the commandments. Trying to keep the commandments will make you sin more, Romans 7:7-12.
It is only when you are free from the law that you can obey the law.
Obedience to God is not impossible.
Of course he does. This is why he is busy hiding and perverting it.
Paul refutes you, Romans 3:10 also Romans 3:23.
I didn't say you are righteous and I didn't say you have not sinned. I said it is possible to obey God.
The only one that has obeyed or pleased God is Jesus Christ. All of the rest are sinners.
Jesus had perfect obedience. You can obey God and Jesus. It is possible for you to do so.
If you're guilty of one sin, you are guilty of all.
If you have broken one command in the Law then you have broken the Law. Transgressing one command makes you a transgressor of the law.
James 2:10 NASB - 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
With all due respect CherubRam, are you thinking I am speaking of the Sabbath command? The Sabbath command is one of God's commands.

I thought I would add that into your thread.
Well, thank you for mentioning this command.
