Put on Christ Through the Gospel

Jesus never asks us to do anything. He commands us in John 14:15,


"If you love Me, keep My commandments."

1 Corinthians 15:1-8, "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time."

"To keep His commandments and obey the gospel means to reenact the gospel by obedient faith"

_____________________________


While John 3:16 promises eternal life to him who believes, 

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Hebrews 5:9 attributes salvation to such as who obey, thus demonstrating that the two are not mutually exclusive, rather, saving faith includes obedience.

"And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him."
