Spirit cowards, and other rebellious ones before God, give various excuses for not serving the Will of God. However, the Word from God says that only those who obey Him through The Christ will be saved. As an example: Those who visit churches regularly, but live contrary to God's Will afterwards, are sinning. They are certainly not being created in spirit toward everlasting life.

The obligation of every individual is to his or her Lifegiver God, carrying out His expressed Will. This, in turn, is also required of us respecting others, who may listen to us and obey His Will on a day to day basis. The said Will of God for us has been expressed in words and deeds through His Son and written down in the Holy Scriptures.

Concerning the old covenant arrangements from God (laws that showed up sin, and punishments for disobedience) it says of The Christ: "By means of his flesh he abolished the enmity, the Law of commandments consisting in decrees, that he might create the two peoples in union with himself into one new man and make peace". (From Eph 2:15,16 NWT). This means union with God, of both Jews and Gentiles. These laws were abolished because God found unacceptable faults among the Jews living under them, so that now we are under new arrangements by means of our spirit faith, detailed for us in the Old and New Testaments through prophets and disciples. Especially so, since the time of The Christ, and called the new covenant.

God knew that mankind could not become righteous by means of the old laws that He gave to the Jews. Initially, His intention was to create a kingdom of priests over the earth from among the Jews, but they failed. Instead, by means of the new covenant, God is now creating a Kingdom of spirit priests who from heaven will administer for spirit growth; that is to say, for those already walking on the "Way of Holiness". "The unclean one will not pass over it". (See Isaiah 35:8-10 NWT).

Until now, all people, even those who pray but refuse to readjust their sinful lives toward holiness in accordance with God's expressed Will, are to be finally rejected.

The whole purpose of human life then, is that our spirit be subjected (created) by His Christ while attached to our life in the flesh. A sanctified (cleansed) spirit will go on after the death of our flesh, to live everlastingly in the paradise of God (with the very purpose of one's life having been fulfilled). Of those who have (1) "misused my law" (God's law) and have (2) rejected the ways of God (His expressed Will), their spirits "will have to learn the truth through torments after death". (2 Esdras 9:9-12. 7:75-98 NEB).
