You say you agree but you don't based on previous posts. Lets just lay the cards on the table as the saying goes. You cherry pick part of my reply and ignore the rest. If not then answer this question, fully define your meaning of obedience. I will reiterate there is nothing any of us can do to secure Christs -, who is God, righteousness, nothing. Works will not gain you anything as all true works of a believer are attributed to Christ and the Holy Spirit not our selves. Look forward to your answer and response.
All of our good works are indeed attributed to Christ's teachings. Yet there are people who reject those teachings or turn from them, thus:
(New Testament | 2 Peter 2:19 - 22)
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world
through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For
it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Jesus Christ asked us to FOLLOW Him. He gave us many examples of what we should do and said:
(New Testament | Matthew 25:40 - 46)
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but
the righteous into life eternal.
He also taught through parables like the parable of the good Samaritan so we would understand who our neighbor was.
This is the way we are to follow Christ's teachings:
(New Testament | James 1:22 - 27)
22 But
be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
The works are through obedience to Christ's teachings.
