What does 'keeping His commandments' mean for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Keeping His commandments means living in obedience to God's word, rooted in love for Him and others.

For Christians, keeping God's commandments involves a profound commitment to live according to the principles outlined in Scripture. In the New Testament, Jesus distilled the commandments into two foundational ones: to love God with all our heart and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This love is not merely emotions but is expressed through actions and choices. As we obey His commands, we manifest our gratitude for His grace and our desire to reflect His character in our daily lives. Christ’s fulfillment of the law empowers us to live in obedience, not as a means of earning salvation, but as a response to the grace that we have received.
