Keep his commandments and love God
Keep his commandments and love God – Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; 1 John 3:23; 1 John 5:1-4
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
1 John 3:23
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1 John 5:1-5
5 Whosoever believeth (to have faith) that Jesus is the Christ is born (begotten, born, sired) of God: and every one that loveth him that begat (begotten, born, sired) loveth him also that is begotten (begotten, born, sired) of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that (in order that, to the the end that) we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For (because) whatsoever is born of God overcometh (conquer, to be victorious) the world (the kosmos: this arrangement): and this is the victory (in battle) that overcometh the world (the kosmos), even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh (conquer, victorious) the world (kosmos), but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
