What does the Bible say about keeping commandments?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that keeping God's commandments centers on believing in Jesus Christ and loving one another.

In 1 John 3:22-24, the apostle John encapsulates the essence of keeping God's commandments, stating that it involves believing in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and loving one another as He commanded. This reflects the heart of Christian obedience—not merely external adherence to the law, like the Ten Commandments, but a deep-seated faith that expresses itself through love. This obedience is not about legalism; rather, it is a response to the grace of God that has been shown to us in Christ. The commandments are fulfilled in love and faith, emphasizing the believer's relationship with God through Christ.
