If you love me, you will keep my commandments — Jesus grounds obedience not in fear or duty but in love; to keep his commandments is the expression and proof of love for him. The commandments (entolas) are not arbitrary rules but the expression of God's character and purpose; to obey them is to align oneself with the divine will. Love and obedience are inseparable; faith without works is dead, and works divorced from love are sterile.
