Keep My Commandments

I come from a religious group that teaches that God's Law is done away. They say we are now just under grace. Actually grace can not exist without the Law. We are called to Keep His Commandments.

Matthew 19:17 "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
John 15:10 "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
1 John 2:3 "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments."
1 John 3:22 "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight."
1 John 5:2 "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments."
1 John 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."

We only worship one God, not two or three. Jesus Christ is the God of the old testament.

John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."

The Laws of Christ are the Laws of God. Notice that on the next two verses they connect the commandments of God with faith in Jesus. Which of you think that this can be ignored?

Revelation 12:17 "And the dragon 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."
Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

There is one difference between the old and new covenants. The answer is in this verse. This is the New Covenant.

Hebrews 10:16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them".
