Bible Question:
Which commandments is Jesus talking about here? The 10 commandments? or those plus other ones? or just some other ones? John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Micah... Welcome to the forum! What our Lord is speaking about is the commandments that He has given to His elect -- the "called out ones;" i.e., the church (John 14:15; 15:10-14; 1 John 2:3-5). Those commands are distinct, but they are not contrary to the ten commandments. Actually, in many cases, they are made more all encompassing; see Matthew 5. Christ is is our Sovereign Lord, and has all authority (Matthew 28:18a; Mark 1:22; 1 Corinthians 15:7). These commands also include repentance (Matthew 4:17); faith (John 3:36); love of the brethren (John 15:12); submission to Christ the King (John 10:27); the ordinances of the church (Acts 19:4; 1 Corinthians 11:25); etc. The hallmark of the believer is that the internal realities are manifest in externally observable fruit (John 15:8).
