Keep My Commandments

Keep My Commandments – John 14:15

We keep the commandments of Christ because we love Him.

Obedience is a crucial part of our relationship with God. Jesus has said, “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). Keeping the commandments of Christ is what we do because we love Him and we appreciate the wonderful things He has done for us (John 14:15; 1 John 5:3).

Keep the Lord’s commandments as they are!

It is interesting to note that the word, “keep” is translated from a Greek word, which means, “to preserve something as it is.” Not only does the Lord require our obedience; Hebrews also requires us to be careful not to change His Word, in any way. There are numerous passages in which the Bible warns us not to tamper with its contents (Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18-19; et al). Let us heed the Bible’s warning and keep the Lord’s commandments as they are!
