What does it mean to keep Christ's commandments?

In John 14:21, Jesus says, 'He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me.' Here, the commandments refer primarily to believing in Him as our Lord and righteousness. Keeping His commandments reflects our love for Him, acknowledging that we do not stand in our righteousness but solely in His grace. This obedience is not a condition for salvation but rather a joyful response to His love, as believers are gripped by His grace and compelled to follow Him faithfully.
