How do we know obedience to God is true?

True obedience to God stems from a regenerated heart, as supported by biblical texts such as Romans 6:16-18. When individuals encounter God's grace and experience a heart transformation, their lives begin to reflect the righteousness of Christ. Authentic faith results in a commitment to obey God's commands, including those regarding societal relationships such as that between slaves and masters. The believer's duty is to reflect God's character in their actions, providing clear evidence of a changed life that is pleasing to Him.
