There are some points that are repeated, and I had to use synonyms to define the subject keyword. Several of them have similar points. The entire Bible summarizes the benefits we enjoy from obeying God. We cannot express our love for him and not do what his word says.

It’s impossible to be a Christian and not reflect our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s actions. We cannot obey if we keep offenses, can’t forgive others, or are not patient with ourselves and with God.
