16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life? 17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one,
that is, God:
but if thou wilt enter into life,
keep the commandments. Matt 19: 16-17
25And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?
26He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27And he answering said,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right:
this do, and thou shalt live. Luke 10: 25-28
If you
keep my commandments, you will abide in
my love, just as I have
kept
my Father’s
commandments and abide in his love John 15:10
"If you love Me, you will
keep My commandments. John 14:15
In fact, this is love for God:
to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 1John 5: 3
And this is love: that we walk in
obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. 2 John 1:6
21Not 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.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work (anomia) lawlessness. Matt 7: 21-23
14Blessed
are they that
do his commandments,
that they may have
right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Rev 22: 14
