KEEPING the commandments of God

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
(James 1:25)
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
(James 1:22)

If ye love me, keep my commandments. (Jn 14:15)

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Lk 6:46)
Not every one 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. (Matt 7:21)
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.  (Lk 12:47)

1 John 2:3:
         And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
 2:4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
 2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

1 John 3:22
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.  23  And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.  24  And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. (1 Jn 5:2,3)



John 14
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.



If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (Jn 15:10)

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Rev 14:12)

 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. (Lk 11:28)

Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. (Jer 26:13)
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. (Prov 28:9)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (Jn 8:51)
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. (Jn 12:48)
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Matt 12:50)

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (Jn 8:31,32)
