What does the Bible say about keeping the commandments of God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that keeping the commandments of God is essential, but it emphasizes faith in Christ as the basis for righteousness.

In 1 Corinthians 7:17-20, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that the act of circumcision or uncircumcision is of no consequence compared to keeping the commandments of God. He teaches that true salvation and acceptance by God are rooted not in physical acts or adherence to the law, but in the inner work of God through Christ. We are justified not by our works but by faith in Christ, who fulfilled the commandments for His people. Thus, the essence of 'keeping' the commandments lies in trusting in Christ and living in accordance with His grace, rather than in external rituals or self-righteousness.
