Why is it important to obey God?
What good could it do?
It's a call to love.
If we love God, we will obey Him.
JESUS is precise about this call to obedience.
The following verses testify to that:

keep my commandments.
John 14:21

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.
John 14:23
King James Version
23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me,
he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.

if ye do whatsoever I command you.

but I have chosen you,

that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name,
he may give it you.

Lord, Lord,

Yea rather,
blessed are they that hear the word of God,
and keep it.
