So..what are the Lord's commandments in the New Covenant ( this is where we live now after Jesus died for our sins on the cross ).
John tells us exactly what they are.
1 John 3:22-24 (NASB)
[SUP]22 [/SUP] and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
[SUP]23 [/SUP] This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.
[SUP]24 [/SUP] The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
To believe in the name of Christ and to love one another are the New Covenant believers commandments.
The gospel of grace provides all of the above for us.

How come I cannot get a Catholic who believes in good works to tell me:
Seriously, you guys are the ones saying this stuff and then projecting it onto others. You guys need to OWN those kind of statements because you're the ones saying it.
Matthew 19
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
The above shows faith because he comes to Christ for the answer to eternal life
17 And 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.<<Says to keep the commandments, as an answer to having eternal life.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself <<<More commandments...yes I know the last one was not part of the 10
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, <<--Works and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
