Are you following His commandments?

By Todd Barrier

In John 14:15 the Bible says, “If you love me, keep my commandments.”

This is a critical, foundational directive from Jesus. If we don’t follow His commandments, it seems the opposite would be true.

Following His commandments is important because God knows what is best for us. When we do the opposite, we are declaring we know better than God.

We aren’t saved because of “what we do;” it’s about what He has already done. However, following what He says to do is an affirmation of our faith.

So, let’s follow God the way He asks us to. Are you following His commandments?
