22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have
sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,
through the living and enduring word of God.
1 Peter 1
10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
John 15
28 Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
John 6
21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me
will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
John 14
Amen, we are saved by believing in Christ, and His work. His work is that we should obey Him.
If you love Jesus you will obey Him.
So the lie is you can have faith in Jesus and disobey Him.
4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 2
So are we of the truth by saying obey Jesus or is the one who says obeying Jesus does not matter speaking
the truth?
1 John 2 would call those who do not do what Jesus commands liars.
Now interestingly liars will say I am lying about what this scripture is saying.
But then as they are liars, it is not a surprise, but is obvious what the truth is, we are called to obey Jesus.
