Walking in the light, which includes keeping the commandments, living like Jesus, and exercising love, is especially important at the end of the world’s history. God’s law is being challenged, and the issue of true worship and obedience to the Creator will come even more to the front. In Scripture, examples are mentioned, people who remained faithful even under the most challenging circumstances: Joseph, Daniel’s friends, Daniel, and many others. The prime example is Jesus. We must make the decision to follow His lead, no matter what.
“John tells us that true love for God will be revealed in obedience to all His commandments. It is not enough to believe the theory of truth, to make a profession of faith in Christ, to believe that Jesus is no impostor, and that the religion of the Bible is no cunningly devised fable. . . . John did not teach that salvation was to be earned by obedience; but that obedience was the fruit of faith and love.”-- Ellen G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 563.
