In John 14:15, Christ makes a simple statement.
"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
Now, you notice it doesn't say, “you'll obey me in some things, but not in others.” And it doesn't say, “you'll obey me part of the time.” What it says is that if we love Christ, we will keep His commandments. If we keep His commandments, we love Christ. And of course, if we do not love Christ, we do not keep His commandments. And if we do not keep His commandments, it is because we do not truly love Christ. That includes not only faith, but baptism, meeting together, taking the Lord's Supper, and everything we are told to do. And remember I Corinthians 16:22.
If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed.
