THOSE WHO DO IT WILL BE JUSTIFIED

YHWH declares people righteous based on their obedience, not merely on hearing or knowing of His commands, because it's a matter of life or death (Deut. 6:24-25, Ezek. 18:9, 20:11). Mere hearers of God’s Word are not justified by simply knowing His requirements; rather, those who put His Word into practice, demonstrate their obedience (Jas. 1:22 & 2:18).
However, possessing or knowing the Law, cannot save anyone from judgment, for Scripture makes clear that, “no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law (Rom. 3:20)." Yet, true righteousness and justification come as a gift of God, only through faith in Christ Jesus, producing a life of obedience to His Word (Gal. 2:16).

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father and Omnipotent God, thank You for helping me to become, not only a hearer, but also someone who acts on Your Word. By Your grace, help me to walk in obedience and live by faith in Christ Jesus. Thank You for the assurance that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Amen!

From Romans 2:13
