If you keep some of the law outwardly because you believe it is good and you want to honor God, knowing that it can never save you, then who is anyone else to say God doesn't see your heart in that? Paul said each man has to follow his own conscience in matters like this. If one man feels he should honor these laws because to do so is to honor God, and another man feels it is to honor God to ask Him to show him the spirit of the laws for his inner man, God sees their hearts. Neither man should fault the other unless he sees them causing others to believe the law saves them and then he would have to speak up or God will hold him responsible for not doing so. This is my belief.

Is there a better way to honor God than obeying Him?
