John 14:21 One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
John 14:23 Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him,
and we will come to him, and make our home with him. 24 He who doesn’t love me
doesn’t keep my words.
John 15:14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command
you.
1 John 1:3 This is
how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments. 4 One who says,
“I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t
in him. 5 But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been
perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him: 6 he who says he
remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Matthew 7:24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of
mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a
rock. 25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on
that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 Everyone who
hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who
built his house on the sand. 27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

The previous post in this series, which began this topic, on the characteristics of a true Christian, is here. God willing, the next post in this series will continue the topic of this post, discussing Christ's commandments. Thanks for reading.
