Jesus said our salvation [ETERNAL LIFE] requires both “FAITH” and “OBEDIENCE”. Simply believing in Jesus will not get anyone to Heaven if one is not obeying God’s words, teachings and commandments…. Our obedience to God’s words, teachings and commandments is what proves our faith is real and that we truly love God. If you’re a professing Christian believer ask yourself this: ARE YOU TRULY WALKING THE WALK OR JUST TALKING THE TALK?
(Matthew 19:16-17) “And, behold, one came and said unto Him [JESUS], Good Master, (WHAT GOOD THING SHALL I DO, THAT I MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?) And He [JESUS] said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life [ETERNAL LIFE], (KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS)”
(Revelation 14:12) “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that (KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD), and the faith of Jesus”

(1 John 5:3) “For this is the love of God, that (WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS): and His commandments are not grievous”
(2 John 6) “And this is love, that (WE WALK AFTER HIS COMMANDMENTS). This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it”
(Deuteronomy 7:9) “Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and (KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS) to a thousand generations”
(John 14:15) Jesus said, “If ye love me, (KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS)”
(John 14:21) Jesus said, “(HE WHO HAS MY COMMANDMENTS AND KEEPS THEM), it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him”

(1 John 2:3-5) “And hereby we do know that we know Him [JESUS], (IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS). He that saith, I know Him [JESUS], and keepeth not His [JESUS] commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His [JESUS] word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him [JESUS]”
(Revelation 12:17) “And the dragon [THE ANTICHRIST ● SATAN] was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, (WHICH KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD), and have the testimony of Jesus Christ”

(Acts 5:32) “And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them (THAT OBEY HIM)”
(Philippians 2:12) “Wherefore, my beloved, as (YE HAVE ALWAYS OBEYED), not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, (WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING)”
(John 14:23-24) “Jesus answered and said unto him, (IF A MAN LOVE ME, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS): and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (HE THAT LOVETH ME NOT KEEPETH NOT MY SAYINGS): and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me” [KEEP MEANS OBEY]
(John 8:51) Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, (IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING), he shall never see death” [KEEP MEANS OBEY]
(Luke 11:28) “But he [JESUS] said, Yea rather, blessed are they that (HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, AND KEEP IT)” [KEEP MEANS OBEY]

(James 1:22-25) “But (BE YE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES). For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, (HE BEING NOT A FORGETFUL HEARER, BUT A DOER OF THE WORK), this man shall be blessed in his deed”
(Matthew 7:24-27) Jesus said, “Therefore (WHOSOEVER HEARETH THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, AND DOETH THEM), I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And (EVERY ONE THAT HEARETH THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, AND DOETH THEM NOT), shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it”
(2 John 9) “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. (HE THAT ABIDETH IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST), he hath both the Father and the Son”

(1 Peter 4:17) “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them (THAT OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL OF GOD?)”
(Colossians 3:6) “Because of these things (THE WRATH OF GOD IS COMING UPON THE SONS OF DISOBEDIENCE)”
(2 Thessalonians 1:7-9) “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire (TAKING VENGEANCE ON THEM THAT KNOW NOT GOD, AND THAT OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST): Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power”
(Isaiah 13:6-9) “Howl ye; for (THE DAY OF THE LORD IS AT HAND); it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Behold, (THE DAY OF THE LORD COMETH, CRUEL BOTH WITH WRATH AND FIERCE ANGER, TO LAY THE LAND DESOLATE: AND HE SHALL DESTROY THE SINNERS THEREOF OUT OF IT)”

Jesus says in (JOHN 14:15 ● JOHN 14:21 ● JOHN 14:23) that those who abide in Him and truly love Him are those who obey His words, teachings and commandments. If you profess to be a Christian but yet you are still committing the sin of Fornication [PRE-MARITAL SEX], lust, lying, stealing, addiction, drunkenness, un-forgiveness, hate, strife, envy, pride, jealousy, slander, gossip, discord, fits of rage, adultery, disobedience to parents, vanity, gluttony, greed, covetousness, idolatry, extortion, debauchery, selfish ambition, dis-belief, effeminate, homo sexuality, witchcraft and murder you don’t truly love Jesus nor are you truly following Him (JOHN 14:24 ● MATTHEW 15:8).
That’s why Jesus says in (LUKE 6:46) “AND WHY CALL YE ME, LORD, LORD, AND DO NOT THE THINGS WHICH I SAY?” Meaning why do you profess to believe in and profess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior but yet you keep living in willful disobedience [SIN] only deceiving yourself (1 JOHN 3:6-9). The Lord isn’t coming back for fakes who only talk the talk; but rather for his true, sold out followers who strive each and every day to walk the straight, narrow and difficult walk that is required of each and every one of us (MATTHEW 7:13-14). Most Christians profess to love the Lord but very few obey Him. Sadly, most of today’s world conformed churches are primarily comprised of religious “SUNDAY PEW WARMERS” and nothing more.
That’s why Jesus says many self-proclaiming Christians will seek to enter in and shall not be able (LUKE 13:24 ● MATTHEW 7:21-23). Everyone wants to go to Heaven when they die but unfortunately very, very few people want to obey God and His word to get there. Are you living your life today as if God is coming at any moment my friends? If you’re a professing Christian believer ask yourself this: ARE YOU TRULY WALKING THE WALK OR JUST TALKING THE TALK? Jesus is coming very, very soon! Please repent and turn from your sins and get right with the Lord before it’s too late! (LUKE 13:3 ● 2 THESSALONIANS 1:7-9 ● ISAIAH 13:6-9).
