ข้อกังขา

Scripture splits humanity into two distinct categories based on their relationship to God and His commandments.

If God calls His covenant-keeping people saints (those set apart), He refers to the others as:
 

1. The Lawless (or Wicked)

In the New Testament, Yeshua and the Apostles frequently contrast the saints with those who live without regard for God's instructions.

• The Greek term: Anomia (literally "without law" or "violating the law").

• The Warning: In Matthew 7:23, Yeshua warns those who claim to know Him but ignore the commandments: "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"
   

2. The Unjust (or Unrighteous)

The Bible repeatedly contrasts the two groups when discussing judgment.

• The Contrast: In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul asks why a believer would take a matter before the unjust rather than before the saints.

• The Destiny: 2 Peter 2:9 states that God knows how to deliver the godly, but keeps the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment.
   

3. The Children of Disobedience (or Children of the Devil)

When addressing who rules a person's life and actions, Scripture uses family terms.

• The Actions: Ephesians 2:2 speaks of the spirit that works in the children of disobedience.

• The Definition: 1 John 3:10 draws the line clearly: "In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness [keeping the commandments] is not of God."
   

The Definitive Verse: Revelation 14:12 identifies the first group perfectly: "Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua."

By biblical definition, anyone outside of that description falls into the category of the lawless, the unjust, or the disobedient. 

​

This diagnostic test uses the final book of scripture to draw a line in the sand. It forces you to look at the two distinct categories of humanity established by the Creator, using Revelation 14:12 as the ultimate boundary marker.

📋 The "Saints vs. The Lawless" Definitive Boundary Test

Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions to determine which biblical category your daily life, your habits, and your theology place you in.

Question 1: The Mark of a Saint

In Revelation 14:12, the scripture gives a precise, two-part definition of a saint: "Here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua." Based on this verse, how do you define your identity?

• A) A Saint (Set-Apart). You recognize that true faith in the Messiah is inseparable from a physical walk of keeping the Father's Torah. Your life displays both parts: total trust in Yeshua and meticulous care for His instructions.

• B) A Cultural Believer. You claim to have "faith in Jesus," but you believe His commandments are obsolete or optional, cutting the verse in half and choosing a path that scripture defines as incomplete.

Question 2: The Practice of Anomia (Lawlessness)

In Matthew 7:23, the Master issues a terrifying warning to people who fully believed they were in the Kingdom: "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness (anomia—living without regard for God's law)." When you examine your lifestyle, do you treat the Torah as active law?

• A) You Reject Lawlessness. You actively study the Torah to identify sin so you can completely purge it from your actions, treating His rest days, dietary boundaries, and moral laws as non-negotiable.

• B) You Practice Anomia. You live your life based on church traditions, personal feelings, or cultural convenience, considering yourself exempt from the physical laws of God under the guise of "grace."

Question 3: The Fruit of Righteousness vs. Disobedience

According to 1 John 3:10, the line between the children of God and the children of the devil is stark: "Whoever does not practice righteousness [keeping the commandments] is not of God." When the Father looks at your daily practice, what family lineage does it reveal?

• A) A Child of God. Your regular, daily practice is righteousness. You actively obey the Father's voice, making your spiritual DNA obvious through visible, physical fruits of obedience.

• B) A Child of Disobedience. Your daily practice matches the world's standard. You follow the crowd, ignore the biblical calendar, eat what the world eats, and shrug off the lifestyle of Yeshua, aligning with the spirit described in Ephesians 2:2.

Question 4: The Courtroom of the Unjust

In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul rebukes believers for seeking judgment and direction from the "unjust" (unrighteous) rather than from the saints. When you seek wisdom, direction, or validation for how you live, where do you go?

• A) The Royal Law. You turn strictly to the unchanging Word of God and the example of Yeshua, using the standard of the saints to settle how you walk.

• B) The Standard of the World. You look to the theological systems of the modern world, human consensus, or comfortable sermons that tell you exactly what your itching ears want to hear, relying on an unjust standard.

​​

The Definitive Verdict: Review where your checked boxes land. Scripture leaves zero room for a third option, a middle ground, or a gray area.

If your choices consistently land on B, the mirror exposes a vital reality: By biblical definition, anyone who does not keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua falls directly into the category of the lawless, the unjust, or the disobedient.

True faith is not a mental concept or a verbal claim—it is a physical lifestyle. If you want to be counted among the saints who endure with patience, you must abandon the broad road of anomia today and begin walking exactly as Yeshua walked.
