We obey the gospel by choosing to believe the gospel. Romans 10:16 - But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”So if a person obeys the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they are being saved by their works?
For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17
What will be then end of those who don’t obey the Gospel?
Paul makes it clear -
in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 1:8
I reject your foolish nonsense and choose to obey what the Holy Spirit teaches us through the scriptures.
The gospel is the "good news" of the death burial, and resurrection of Christ, and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes... (Romans 1:16) To "believe" the gospel is to trust in the death burial, and resurrection of christ, as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation.
The gospel is a message of grace that is to be received through faith. The gospel is not a set of rituals to perform, a code of laws to be obeyed or a check list of good works to accomplish as a prerequisite for salvation.
It pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. (1 Corinthians 1:18-21)
