Obedience is not the cornerstone, nor should it be the primary goal for a new covenant believer. What is the believer's goal? In a perfect world, we would all end up with the same answer. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world, and the church doesn’t teach a perfect doctrine; therefore, our answers are all over the board. Jesus is our ultimate goal. Jesus is the cornerstone, and a relationship with Him should be the ultimate objective of the believer. Obedience and the fulfillment of God’s divine promises are the offspring of grace and faith.
