JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH THROUGH GOD'S AMAZING GRACE:

AMEN

LOVING JESUS CHRIST:

If you [really] love Me, [the Lord Jesus Christ] you will keep (obey) My commands. Amen
(John 14:15, Amplified Bible)
OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S COMMANDMENTS AS FREE MORAL AGENTS:

“Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock." Amen (Deuteronomy 7:12-14, NKJV Bible)
