A look at scripture would say He does.
“And now,Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the Lord, and His statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good.” (Deuteronomy 10:12-13)
“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” (Micah 6:8) or as it is translated directly from the original writings: "Human being, you have already been told what is good, what ADONAI demands of you - no more than to act justly, love grace and walk in purity with your God."
If we want to love God with all of our being, which is required, we will respect greatly His will and do it, because that is what is in our hearts. That entails searching the scriptures in order to understand His requirements, including the law and the prophets, which those that really believe are not under. If we truly love God as we ought to, we will earnestly want to put ourselves under the requirements of our Lord God because we desire His companionship. If we are not subject to these things, there is no companionship in love, and He will say to us at judgment day, “Depart from me, I never knew you.”
Matthew 7:21-23~~ “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. Many 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? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Why does this thought not scare the daylights (or in reality, the "darkness") out of Christians today even if they don’t want to obey God out of love for Him?
