How do we know the doctrine of obedience to God is true?

Answered in 1 source

Obedience to God is a command found throughout scripture, showing its necessity for all believers.

The Bible clearly commands believers to obey the Lord, which is encapsulated in the call to believe on Jesus Christ for salvation (Acts 16:31). Scripture underscores that obedience is not an option but a requirement for true faith. In Matthew 21:28-31, Jesus uses the parable of the two sons to demonstrate that obedience is reality-backed; the son who initially disobeyed but later obeyed represented those who genuinely repent, while the son who professed obedience without action was likened to the hypocritical religious leaders. This illustrates that authentic faith manifests itself in obedience (James 2:17).
