You aren't the one keeping his commandments...he is. You can only rebel against them.

Speak it, Siste-in-Christ! Hear here!

Paul says, be ye transformed BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. And Paul said (referring to his present condition pre-death or pre-resurrection body and soul) with the mind He affirms the law of God but with his flesh he cannot fulfill it. That is why the Grace of God does it for us. God abides in the born agains, fulfilling the character of God even in those whose flesh is corrupted. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God ... the flesh we now occupy with our life in our blood cannot live in the 'apart' to which God is about to stand us. As Jesus iterated, 'a ghost does not have flesh and bone as you see me have. He is real but is not now in the same flesh and blood of His pre-death aliveness. He is in a Glorified body abiding in the 'apart' to which He is about to stand us for the Departure.

Nope. God doesn’t force you to do anything you don’t want to and we all have free will. We are not robots. The only ones keeping the commandments are the ones that want to and have asked God for help in doing so.

Rev 22
14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
