Your Performance Of His Commandments

"Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers. And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man does not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you. Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him." (Deuteronomy 8:1-3,5,6)

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."(John 13:34,35)

"I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, SO I DO. Arise, let us go from here." (John 14:30,31)

"As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in Me love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if 

you DO whatever I command you." (John 15:9-14)

"Little children, let no one deceive you. He who PRACTICES righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous."(1 John 3:7)

"In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not PRACTICE righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.(1 John 3:10)

Lately I am hearing ministers proclaim that this new covenant, by the blood of Jesus Christ, is not based on our performance. For sure, God's plan for the salvation of man came without His inquiring of man for an opinion. Salvation is the gift of God to man. He knows how to accomplish it in us. But, we have to submit to it. In the book of Revelation (chapters 2,3) Jesus commands His the messengers to the seven churches to write: "I know your works". So, your performance, according to His words, displays who He is to mankind. What kind of offering are your works in Him displaying?
