Obama is a religious man and so is every other man. The question is what will a man worship?
Most men are self worshippers in that they make themselves the authority on truth or some other man. They have judged the God of the Bible and found Him lacking. They do not recognize His authority, nor will they submit to His rule. This is what it means to be in rebellion. Every man does what is right in his own eyes.
The blind faith of the atheists is that the truth they have suppressed about God is not really truth. After all there are many radical naturalists; they cannot all be wrong. Can they?
Christ said that His people hear His voice and they follow Him. He said that love toward Him is demonstrated by keeping His commandments. This is the only valid measure of faith. Many will profess Him, but they will be condemned for practicing lawlessness. Their life is characterized by lawlessness rather than obedience. The only definition of Christian that matters in the one given by Christ.
The faith of the Christian is made evident by his adherence to the Law, for love is the fulfillment of the Law and the definition of what is good.
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. [Romans 13:9-11]
