As Jesus is continuing to try and provide comfort, peace, and settlement to the hearts of the disciples, He reminds the disciples to keep all of His commandments in His absence. We, too, must heed this, but many times this piece of Scripture is misconstrued to two extremes of thinking that Christianity is just about following a lot of rules to earn God’s love or that it’s a pass to keep sinning. Keeping God’s commandments is not a stipulation to achieve salvation, but it’s a lifestyle produced in response to salvation. If you are walking with the Spirit of God living in you, there is nothing in you that can celebrate sin and celebrate a lifestyle that doesn’t honor and glorify God. Listen to this sermon about keeping God’s commandments in the eleventh part of our Start to Finish series.
