KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS
By: doug Date: March 2, 2026, 12:52 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[John 14:15 KJV] "If ye love me, keep my
commandments.".............This verse commands Israel to obey
the commandments Jesus gave them while on earth. If you think
this applies to you then what that entails needs examination.
[John 13:1 KJV] "Now before the feast of the passover, when
Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of
this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in
the world, he loved them unto the end."
[John 13:4 KJV] "He riseth from supper, and laid aside his
garments; and took a towel, and girded
himself.".................To evaluate Jesus saying "If ye love
me, keep my commandments." you have to go back to who he was
talking to. He was talking to the twelve disciples at the Lord's
supper. If you think what he said to them is for you then let's
look at what you have to obey:
1) [Mark 1:15 KJV] "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the
gospel."..............you must believe the gospel. The gospel he
preached was that the kingdom was at hand and Israel had to
repent, believe the gospel, be water baptized and keep the law.
You can't believe that gospel, nor is being preached, because
the kingdom is no longer at hand at this time.
2) [Matthew 10:32 KJV] "Whosoever therefore shall confess me
before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in
heaven."
[Matthew 10:33 KJV] "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him
will I also deny before my Father which is in
heaven."................You must confess him publicly or be
denied before the Father. This was spoken to Israel during
Christ's earthly ministry and primarily was speaking of Jews who
confessed him were put out of the synagogue..........[John 12:42
KJV] "Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on
him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him],
lest they should be put out of the synagogue".
3) [Matthew 9:9 KJV] "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he
saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and
he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him."
.................You must follow Jesus by physically doing so,
which you can't, because this was for Israel to obey during his
earthly ministry.
4) [Matthew 5:19 KJV] "Whosoever therefore shall break one of
these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall
do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven."...............Jesus commanded to keep all
the law. You must keep all the law, which you can't because
there is no temple sacrifices at this time.
5) [Matthew 5:20 KJV] "For I say unto you, That except your
righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes
and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of
heaven."..................The scribes and Pharisees kept the
law, so to exceed their righteousness you must keep the law
perfectly. Also, Jesus was saying that this was to enter the
kingdom, which you can't obey because the kingdom isn't being
offered at this time.
6) Luke 13:24 KJV] "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for
many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be
able [...............Jin order to obey this command you must
enter the strait gate. By this gate Israel would enter into
their kingdom on earth. Jesus wasn't speaking of entering
eternal life through him, he was speaking pf being able to enter
into the millennial kingdom on earth (the kingdom was in view as
can be seen in a following verse; [Luke 13:29 KJV] "And they
shall come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the
north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom
of God.").
7) Last of all look at this verse................[1 John 3:22
KJV] "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep
his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his
sight.".............This verse was for Israel, who were the ones
to keep his commandments. Thinking you can, and do all of his
commandments, will lead to disappointment and loss of faith when
you find you aren't getting all you ask.
Jesus cane to Israel in the flesh.........[John 1:14 KJV] "And
the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth."...........If we say we must keep all the
commandments Jesus gave to Israel on earth, then we are only
knowing Christ by the flesh. We are not to follow Christ in his
flesh as found in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and say we must
keep his commandments...........[2 Corinthians 5:16 KJV]
"Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea,
though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth
know we [him] no more."
We are to keep his commandments, the commandments given us by
Christ Jesus through Paul's epistles...............[1
Corinthians 7:19 KJV] "Circumcision is nothing, and
uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments
of God."
