And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:28-40)

Keep the commandments of God ... The current fantasy that “believers” are in some way saved without obedience should be reviewed in light of many such passages as this. Any “system” of salvation that promises people eternal life upon any other premise than that of fidelity to God’s commandments is false and should be identified with the second beast. Yes indeed; they must believe in Christ with all their hearts, but that is not all that is required. They must also:
Keep ... the faith of Jesus ... As Ladd said, “This faith is objective?[57] It means keep the religion of Christ; accept and obey the tenets of true Christianity.
