Someone lately "corrected" me because I said genuine dear for Christ results inward obedience to His commands.
She said I didn't sympathise grace, as well as she insisted Jesus gave solely ii commands for New Covenant believers: Loving the Lord amongst all our hearts as well as loving our vecino equally ourselves (Matthew 22:37-40).
Actually, Jesus gave many commands, but these ii are unique: they position all of the other commandments into context.
"The entire police trace as well as all the demands of the prophets are based on these ii commandments.” (v.40)
If nosotros dear God amongst all our pump as well as our vecino equally ourselves, nosotros won't violate a unmarried other command.
And Christ made it clear that if nosotros accept no wish to obey Him, nosotros don't know or dear Him (John 14:15,21,23; John 15:10; 1 John 2:3; 1 John 5:3; 2 John 1:6).
Obedience as well as expert industrial plant don't earn salvation, but they follow salvation.
And Christ's last ascendence on public was this:
"Go as well as brand disciples ... pedagogy them to obey everything I accept commanded you." Matthew 28:18-20
