I keep His commandments because they are about love. Love for Him and love for one another. In Matthew 22:34-39 Jesus says to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and that this is the first and greatest commandment. Then in verse 39 He says to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. Imagine what a better world we would have if we cared about others- neighbours doesn't mean the people next door, it concerns itself with the well-being of all people. Loving others means wanting the best for them. Sure, that's not easy to do but if we can learn to love God then His love for us can flow through to others.
Remember, John 3:16 says - For God so loved the worldthat He gave His Son. Jesus gave us these commandments so that our lives and others lives would benefit and the world would be a happier love. Look at the world today and the mess it's in and that's the result of not following those commandments. Jesus gave us commandments He knew would work if we are willing to do that.
