If you don't listen and respond, it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47
If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments, you will receive the mark of the beast not the mark of God. How you live your life is evidence to God and man whether you are living by the word of God or the word of man.

1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
James 1:2 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

keeping God's law – His Torah – is not something that is too difficult or beyond our ability. Furthermore, Scripture also declares that obeying God's commands is not an unreasonable burden for believers. Why? Because Scripture says that His commandments are not burdensome 1John 5:3

John 3:36 And anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remain under God's angry judgment.
1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth
What we do is the evidence of what we believe internally. Our actions define for others our inward beliefs.
1 John 2:.3 Now by this we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked ● John 14:23 Yeshua replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My
Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” ● John 14:24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Fathers who sent me

-
John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Hebrews 10:26-27 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. ● John 3:3 Yeshua answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again; he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
In the next verse, Yehovah is telling us that sinning is to not keep His commandments. By this the children of God and the children of the devil can be distinguished: So according to scripture; whose child, are you?
-
1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues (practice) to sin has seen Him or known Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil can be distinguished: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who doesn't love his brother.

Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’…23 Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.
22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.
The popular Christian teaching about "righteousness by faith" is that God's righteousness is "imputed" in those who "believe" in "Yeshua." In other words, in their view the righteousness which the believer has is a "theoretical" righteousness - you don't actually have to be living in a righteous way to be seen by God as "righteous". They say, "When God looks at you, he sees the righteousness of Christ because you are in Christ"
John makes it very clear about those who are considered righteous in the Almighty's sight, by making this simple-to-understand statement:
-
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his
deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
The Sword of the Gospel, Not Peace, But Division
-
Luke 12:51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” James 1:2 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
-
Definition of transgress; To violate a command or law: SIN: to go beyond a boundary or limit. To go beyond limits set or prescribed by: VIOLATE transgress divine law.
So, this is your question, do you practice sin? Do you keep Yehovah’s laws?
So then, by their fruit, you will recognize them?
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Yeshua is righteous. It doesn't get any easier to understand than that.
There is no question in what The Son of the living God said or did. Yehovah’s words and His Son’s actions need no human to interpret them.
