Why is it essential to keep God's commandments?

Answered in 1 source

Keeping God's commandments is evidence of our love and relationship with Him.

In John 14:15, Jesus states, 'If you love me, keep my commandments.' This phrase indicates that obedience to God's commandments is a fundamental aspect of a believer's life. While our salvation is not based on our ability to keep the law, genuine love for Christ manifests itself in obedience. This obedience is not legalistic but stems from a heart transformed by grace. It signals our love for God and serves as a response to His love, reaffirming our relationship with Him. The historic Reformed understanding emphasizes that while we are saved by grace alone, true faith inevitably results in a life that seeks to obey God's commands.
