Why is the concept of keeping the words of Christ important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Keeping the words of Christ is a sign of true belief and trust in His finished work, which is essential for genuine faith.

In John 12:47-50, Christ emphasizes that keeping His words involves believing in Him and His work. This is crucial for Christians, as true faith manifests through obedience to Christ's teachings. When a believer keeps Christ's words, they are not merely obeying rules but entering into a relationship of trust that acknowledges Christ’s authority and the truth of the gospel. As His words are promises of life, believing in them fosters a deeper connection with Him, underscoring that salvation is not based on personal merit but rather on Christ's redemptive work and the believer's faith in Him.
