My Interview with AI BOT - Who is Jesus
ME:
but who is
Jesus really - historically, he's just a man, right?
AI:
The identity
of Jesus Christ is a matter of faith for Christians and a point of debate among
people of different religious beliefs. From a historical perspective, Jesus of
Nazareth lived in the first century and is widely recognized as a religious
figure who had a significant impact on world history.
However, for
Christians, Jesus is much more than just a historical figure. They believe that
Jesus is the Son of God and that He came to earth to provide salvation for all
people through His death and resurrection. Christians believe that Jesus is
both fully human and fully divine and that He is the Savior of the world and
the means by which people can have a right relationship with God.
Whether one
believes that Jesus is just a man or the Son of God is a matter of personal
faith, and people hold different beliefs based on their religious traditions
and interpretations of the historical evidence.
ME:
How can God
have a Son
AI:
The concept
of God having a son is a central doctrine of Christianity and is rooted in the
belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. In Christian theology, the concept
of God having a son is seen as a mystery that transcends human understanding
and is ultimately a matter of faith.
The idea that
God has a son is expressed in the Bible, particularly in the New Testament,
where Jesus is referred to as the Son of God and is described as having a
unique relationship with God the Father. This relationship is described as
being one of equality, yet also of distinction, with Jesus being fully God and
fully human at the same time.
Christians
believe that God the Father sent His son Jesus to the earth to redeem humanity
from sin and death through His death on the cross and resurrection from the
dead. They believe that through faith in Jesus, people can have eternal life
and a right relationship with God.
The idea of
God having a son is unique to Christianity and is not found in other religious
traditions. How one understands this concept will depend on their faith and
interpretation of the Bible.
ME:
You said
Jesus is equal to God, and also His Son...
AI:
In Christian
theology, Jesus is considered to be both fully God and fully human, a doctrine
known as the "incarnation." This means that Jesus is equal in nature
and essence to God the Father, while at the same time being distinct from Him
as the Son.
The idea of
the incarnation is rooted in the belief that God took on human form in the
person of Jesus Christ to provide salvation for humanity. Christians believe
that Jesus, as both God and man, lived a sinless life and died on the cross as
a sacrifice for the sins of humanity.
This concept
is expressed in several passages in the New Testament, where Jesus is referred
to as both the Son of God and as one with God the Father. The idea of the
incarnation is a central doctrine of Christianity and is a matter of faith for
Christians, with different interpretations of how the divinity and humanity of
Jesus are combined and expressed.
ME:
Does Jesus
ever claim to be God? if so, can you
share those scripture verses.
AI:
Yes, Jesus
claimed to be God in several passages in the New Testament. Here are a few
examples:
· John 8:58: "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.'"
· John 10:30: "I and the Father are one."
· John 14:9: "Jesus said to him, 'Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?'"
These verses
and others like them, in which Jesus claimed to be equal with God, were the
basis for the early Christian belief in the divinity of Jesus and were a
significant factor in the controversy that eventually led to His crucifixion.
These verses
are also the source of much debate and interpretation, with some people seeing
them as evidence of Jesus' divinity, while others interpret them in a more
metaphorical or symbolic sense. Ultimately, the interpretation of these verses
and the belief in the divinity of Jesus is a matter of personal faith and
religious tradition.
ME:
What does it mean "Son of Man"
AI:
"Son of
Man" is a title used to refer to Jesus in the New Testament. It appears
over 80 times in the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and is one of
the most common ways that Jesus referred to himself.
The phrase
"Son of Man" has its roots in the Old Testament, where it was used as
a general term for humanity. In the New Testament, Jesus takes on this title
and uses it to refer to himself in a unique way. By using this phrase, Jesus
was emphasizing his humanity, as well as his divine nature.
The exact
meaning of "Son of Man" is a subject of debate among biblical
scholars, but it is generally understood to convey the idea of Jesus as a
representative of humanity. This title encompasses both his identity as a human
being and his role as the Savior of humanity. It also highlights his role as
the judge of humanity at the end of the world, as described in the book of Revelation.
In short,
"Son of Man" is a significant title that conveys the dual nature of
Jesus as both fully human and fully divine. It emphasizes his role as the
Savior and Judge of humanity, and his unique relationship with God.
ME:
Would this
have been considered blasphemy to the Jews of that time - Pharisees, Priests
and Sadducees
AI:
Yes, the use
of the title "Son of Man" by Jesus would have been considered
blasphemy by many of the Jews of his time, including the Pharisees, Priests,
and Sadducees. This is because they believed that only God was worthy of the
title "Son of Man," and that claiming such a title for oneself was an
act of blasphemy.
The
Pharisees, Priests, and Sadducees were the religious leaders of Jewish society
and were deeply committed to the laws and traditions of their faith. They
believed that the Messiah would be a political and military leader who would
restore the kingdom of Israel and overthrow their Roman oppressors.
However,
Jesus' teachings and miracles, as well as his use of the title "Son of
Man," challenged their understanding of the Messiah and their religious
beliefs. They saw his claims of being the Son of Man as an assertion of
equality with God, and thus considered it blasphemy.
This was one
of the main reasons why they sought to oppose and discredit Jesus, and why they
eventually sought to have him crucified. However, his resurrection and
ascension into heaven affirmed his claims and validated his teachings, leading
to the spread of the Christian faith throughout the world.
I have heard of the Trinity - what does this mean
AI:
The Trinity
is a central doctrine in Christianity, and refers to the belief in the
existence of one God in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and
the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of the Trinity teaches that these three persons
are distinct but not separate, and that they are equal in their divine nature
and attributes.
The concept
of the Trinity is a complex one and is not explicitly stated in the Bible, but
it is derived from a number of passages that suggest the coexistence of
multiple divine persons within the one Godhead. For example, Jesus refers to
the Father as his God and speaks of the Holy Spirit as a separate being, while
the New Testament also speaks of the three persons of the Trinity as existing
and working together in harmony.
The doctrine
of the Trinity is one of the cornerstones of the Christian faith and has been
widely accepted by the majority of Christian denominations. It is believed to
be a fundamental aspect of the Christian understanding of the nature of God,
and provides a basis for understanding the relationship between God, Jesus, and
the Holy Spirit, and their roles in the salvation of humanity.
In summary,
the Trinity is the Christian doctrine that teaches the existence of one God in
three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are equal in their
divine nature and attributes, and who exist and work together in harmony.
That's pretty
deep - tell me about the Holy Spirit from Scripture
AI:
The Holy
Spirit is a central figure in the Christian faith and is considered one of the
three persons of the Trinity, along with the Father and the Son (Jesus Christ).
The Holy Spirit is mentioned numerous times in the Bible and is described as
having a variety of roles and functions.
In the Old
Testament, the Holy Spirit is associated with creation, empowerment, and
guidance. For example, in Genesis 1:2, the Holy Spirit is described as moving
over the waters during the creation of the world. In the New Testament, the
Holy Spirit is described as a helper and comforter, providing believers with
strength and guidance in their lives.
The Holy
Spirit is also associated with the birth and mission of Jesus, and is described
as having descended upon him at his baptism. Throughout the New Testament, the
Holy Spirit is depicted as having an active role in the lives of believers,
empowering them to live lives of faith, to perform miracles, and to spread the
gospel.
One of the
most well-known functions of the Holy Spirit is the gift of speaking in
tongues, which is described as a sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the
life of a believer. The Holy Spirit is also associated with the process of
sanctification, helping believers to grow in their faith and to become more
like Jesus.
In summary,
the Holy Spirit is an important figure in the Christian faith and is described
in the Bible as having a variety of roles and functions, including creation,
empowerment, guidance, comfort, and sanctification. The Holy Spirit is
considered one of the three persons of the Trinity, and is a central figure in
the lives of believers.
What part did
the Holy Spirit have in the birth of Jesus?
AI:
The Holy
Spirit played an important role in the birth of Jesus, as described in the New
Testament. According to the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, the Holy
Spirit was involved in the miraculous conception of Jesus.
In the Gospel
of Matthew, it is written that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was found to be with
child through the Holy Spirit. This means that the Holy Spirit was involved in
the creation of Jesus in a supernatural way, bypassing the normal biological
process of conception.
In the Gospel
of Luke, it is written that the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and overshadowed
her, resulting in the conception of Jesus. This passage emphasizes the
supernatural nature of the birth of Jesus, and highlights the involvement of
the Holy Spirit in this event.
The birth of
Jesus through the Holy Spirit is considered a central doctrine in Christianity,
and is seen as a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the coming of a
Messiah who would be born of a virgin. The Holy Spirit's involvement in the
birth of Jesus is seen as a sign of the divine nature of Jesus and of the Holy
Spirit's power and presence in the world.
In summary,
the Holy Spirit played a crucial role in the birth of Jesus, as described in
the New Testament. The Holy Spirit was involved in the miraculous conception of
Jesus, bypassing the normal biological process, and is seen as a sign of the
divine nature of Jesus and of the Holy Spirit's power and presence in the
world.
ME:
what is the
old testament prophecy about Jesus birth?
AI:
The Old
Testament contains several prophecies that foretell the birth of Jesus, who is
considered the Messiah (or savior) in Christianity. Some of the most well-known
Old Testament prophecies about the birth of Jesus include:
Isaiah 7:14 - "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." This prophecy is considered by many Christians to be a foretelling of the birth of Jesus through the Virgin Mary.
Micah 5:2 - "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times." This prophecy foretells the birthplace of Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem.
Jeremiah 31:15 - "This is what the Lord says: "A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." This prophecy is considered by many to be a foretelling of the massacre of the infants in Bethlehem, which is described in the New Testament as having taken place after the birth of Jesus.
Isaiah 9:6 - "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." This prophecy foretells the birth of a child who will have divine attributes and who will rule as a king.
These and
other Old Testament prophecies are seen by Christians as evidence of the divine
nature of Jesus and of the fulfillment of God's plan for the salvation of
humanity. The birth of Jesus is considered a central event in the Christian
faith and is celebrated as the birth of the Savior of the world.
ME:
what are the
chances that one person could fulfill all of these prophecies
AI:
As a language
model created by (cannot disclose), I do not have the ability to make subjective
assessments or predictions. However, it is widely held by Christians that the likelihood
of one person fulfilling all of the Old Testament prophecies regarding the
birth of the Messiah is very low.
According to
Christian theology, there were many specific prophecies about the Messiah in
the Old Testament, such as the place of his birth (Bethlehem), the nature of
his rule (as a king), and the manner of his death (crucifixion). Some
Christians believe that the odds of one person fulfilling all of these
prophecies by chance are astronomically low, and therefore see the fulfillment
of these prophecies in Jesus as evidence of his divine nature and mission.
Critics,
however, argue that the Old Testament prophecies are open to interpretation and
that the fulfillment of these prophecies in Jesus is due to selective
interpretation and cherry-picking of texts. They argue that the prophecies in
question are vague and could be applied to many people, and that the New
Testament authors had an interest in making it seem as though Jesus fulfilled
them.
In any case,
the question of the chances of one person fulfilling all of the Old Testament
prophecies regarding the birth of the Messiah is a matter of personal belief
and interpretation. Some people believe that the odds of fulfilling all of
these prophecies by chance are very low, while others believe that the
prophecies are not as specific or meaningful as they are often portrayed to be.
ME:
I thought the
Messiah would come from the blood line of David, tying all the way back to
Adam. With Mary's miraculous conception
from the Holy Spirit how is Jesus from the line of David.
AI:
According to
Christian tradition, Jesus is considered to be a descendant of King David
through his earthly father, Joseph. In the New Testament, the genealogy of
Jesus is traced back to King David through Joseph in Matthew 1:1-16 and Luke
3:23-38.
Mary's
miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit is seen by Christians as fulfilling
the prophecy in Isaiah 7:14 that the Messiah would be born of a virgin. The
belief is that Mary, a descendant of King David, was chosen by God to be the
mother of Jesus, and that the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus in her womb. In this
way, Jesus is considered to be both the Son of God and a descendant of King
David.
This belief
in the divine and human nature of Jesus is central to Christian theology and is
a key aspect of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. According to this
doctrine, Jesus is both fully human and fully divine, and is seen as the
fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior to humanity. The belief that
Jesus is both divine and a descendant of King David is an important part of the
Christian understanding of who Jesus is and what he came to do.
My Salvation Interview with an AI BOT
ME:
Can you help me write a blog on John 3:16
AI:
Sure! Here's a concise blog post about John 3:16:
John 3:16 is one of the most well-known verses in the Bible. It states, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
This verse conveys the message of God's immense love for humanity and His desire for all people to have eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. The verse also highlights the sacrifice that God made by sending His son, Jesus, to die on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins.
John 3:16 is a crucial verse in understanding the message of the Bible and the gospel. It emphasizes the love and grace of God, which is freely given to all who believe in Jesus. This verse is a reminder that we can have eternal life through faith in Jesus, and that this gift is available to everyone, regardless of their background or past.
In conclusion, John 3:16 is a powerful reminder of God's love for humanity and the gift of eternal life that is available to all who believe in Jesus. Whether you are a seasoned Christian or just beginning your journey of faith, this verse is a source of comfort and hope, and a reminder of the love that God has for each one of us.
ME:
what do you mean grace of God
AI:
Grace refers to the unmerited or undeserved favor and blessings of God. In the context of Christianity, it is the gift of salvation that God offers to humanity through faith in Jesus Christ, despite our imperfections and sinfulness. Grace means that we do not have to earn or work for our salvation, but it is freely given to us by God. This concept is central to the gospel message, as it highlights God's love and mercy towards us, and the incredible sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross to redeem us. In other words, grace is the undeserved kindness of God that brings salvation and forgiveness to all who believe.
ME:
you said "our" imperfections - are you part of the our?
AI:
No, I am an AI language model created by (cannot disclose) and do not have personal experiences or beliefs. I am programmed to respond to questions and provide information to the best of my ability. The use of the word "our" in my previous response was meant in a general sense to refer to humanity's imperfections and sinfulness, not to include myself as an AI.
ME:
so God's grace is only for humans
AI:
Yes, according to Christian beliefs, God's grace is intended for humans. The Bible teaches that God's grace is offered to all people, regardless of their background or past, and that it is received through faith in Jesus Christ. The concept of grace is central to the gospel message, which is the good news that God offers salvation and forgiveness to all who believe in Jesus. In this sense, God's grace is a manifestation of His love and mercy towards humanity.
ME:
so God's grace is equally available to all mankind - black, white, indian, asian, chinese, man, woman, child
AI:
Yes, according to Christian teachings, God's grace is equally available to all people, regardless of their race, gender, age, or any other demographic factor. The Bible teaches that God loves all people and desires for all to receive His grace through faith in Jesus Christ. In this sense, God's grace is not limited by external factors, but is offered freely to all who believe in Jesus and receive Him as Lord and Savior. This is a core principle of Christianity, and one of the key messages of the gospel.
ME:
you keep referring to Christian teachings, do muslims not believe in the grace of God.
AI:
Muslims do believe in the concept of God's grace, but they have a different understanding of it than Christians. In Islam, God's grace is understood as His mercy, compassion, and forgiveness towards humanity. Muslims believe that God is merciful and benevolent, and that He offers forgiveness to those who repent and seek His forgiveness.
In Islam, the concept of grace is closely tied to the belief in predestination, which teaches that God has already determined the ultimate fate of all people, and that everything that happens in the world is part of His divine plan. According to this belief, God's grace is offered to those whom He has chosen, and it is not available to everyone equally.
While the understanding of God's grace may differ between Christianity and Islam, both religions emphasize the importance of God's mercy and forgiveness towards humanity. In both religions, the concept of grace is central to the understanding of God's relationship with humanity and the path to salvation.
ME:
so in Islam, you must earn God's mercy, where as in Christianity, God's grace is free to all and you don't have to earn it.
AI:
In Islam, the concept of earning God's mercy is closely tied to the belief in predestination and the idea that God has already determined the ultimate fate of all people. While Muslims are encouraged to perform good deeds and follow the teachings of Islam, they believe that their ultimate fate is in God's hands and that they cannot earn His mercy through their own efforts.
In Christianity, however, the concept of grace teaches that salvation and forgiveness are freely given by God to all who believe in Jesus Christ. Christians believe that they cannot earn God's grace or salvation through their own efforts, but that it is received by faith in Jesus. This is a central message of the gospel, and is often expressed through the idea that grace is unmerited or undeserved favor.
In both religions, the concept of grace/mercy is central to the understanding of God's relationship with humanity and the path to salvation. While the understanding of how this grace/mercy is obtained may differ, both religions emphasize the importance of God's mercy and forgiveness towards humanity.
ME:
I see. but grace and mercy aren't the same....can you explain the difference
AI:
Grace and mercy are closely related concepts, but they are not exactly the same thing.
Grace refers to the unmerited or undeserved favor of God. It is the free gift of salvation and forgiveness that God offers to humanity through faith in Jesus Christ, despite our imperfections and sinfulness. Grace means that we do not have to earn or work for our salvation, but it is freely given to us by God. This concept is central to the gospel message, as it highlights God's love and mercy towards us, and the incredible sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross to redeem us.
Mercy, on the other hand, is a characteristic of God that is closely related to grace. Mercy refers to God's compassion and forgiveness towards those who are in a vulnerable or pitiable state. It is the act of withholding the punishment that someone deserves and instead showing them kindness and compassion. In the context of salvation, mercy refers to God's forgiveness and compassion towards us, despite our sinfulness and imperfections.
In summary, grace and mercy are closely related concepts that describe different aspects of God's character and His relationship with humanity. While grace refers to the free gift of salvation and forgiveness that God offers, mercy refers to God's compassion and forgiveness towards those who are in a vulnerable or pitiable state. Both grace and mercy are central to the Christian understanding of God and the gospel message.
ME:
So if God gave us grace for our sins, why did Jesus have to die
AI:
The death of Jesus is central to the Christian understanding of salvation and the gospel message. According to Christian beliefs, Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, thus making it possible for us to receive God's grace and be reconciled to Him.
Before Jesus came to Earth, the penalty for sin was death, and people could only be reconciled to God by offering animal sacrifices as atonement for their sins. However, these sacrifices were only temporary and could not truly remove the guilt of sin. With the coming of Jesus, a new and permanent sacrifice was offered, as He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
Jesus' death on the cross made it possible for all people to receive God's grace and be reconciled to Him, without having to pay the penalty for their sins. This is because Jesus' death satisfied the justice of God and provided a permanent atonement for sin. Through faith in Jesus, people can receive forgiveness for their sins and receive the free gift of salvation.
In this sense, Jesus' death on the cross is the cornerstone of the gospel message, as it provides the means by which people can receive God's grace and be reconciled to Him. Without the death of Jesus, people would still be under the penalty of sin and unable to receive God's grace and forgiveness.
ME:
What is the penalty of sin
AI:
The penalty of sin in Christian beliefs is death. The Bible teaches that all people are sinners and fall short of God's perfect standard of righteousness. As a result of our sin, we are separated from God and under the penalty of death. This death is not just physical death, but also spiritual death, which means that our souls are separated from God and unable to experience eternal life in His presence.
In the Old Testament, the penalty of sin was often described as physical death, and the animal sacrifices offered as atonement for sin were seen as temporary remedies. However, with the coming of Jesus, a new and permanent sacrifice was offered, as He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
Through faith in Jesus, people can receive forgiveness for their sins and be reconciled to God, thereby avoiding the penalty of death. This is because Jesus' death on the cross satisfied the justice of God and provided a permanent atonement for sin, making it possible for all people to receive God's grace and be saved.
In summary, the penalty of sin in Christian beliefs is death, which is both physical and spiritual. Through faith in Jesus, people can receive forgiveness for their sins and be reconciled to God, thereby avoiding the penalty of death and experiencing eternal life in His presence.
ME:
so if I believe in Jesus I won't die
AI:
According to Christian beliefs, faith in Jesus does not guarantee that a person will not die physically. All people, regardless of their faith, will eventually die physically.
However, faith in Jesus does provide the assurance of eternal life in the presence of God after physical death. The Bible teaches that when a person believes in Jesus and is reconciled to God, their soul does not die with the body, but continues to live in the presence of God forever. In this sense, faith in Jesus provides the assurance of eternal life, and protects a person from spiritual death and separation from God.
In summary, faith in Jesus does not guarantee that a person will not die physically, but it provides the assurance of eternal life in the presence of God after physical death. By believing in Jesus, a person is reconciled to God and protected from spiritual death and separation from Him.
ME:
so if all people die a physical death, believing in Christ let's me have eternal life with Him; what happens if I don't believe in Christ.
AI:
According to Christian beliefs, if a person does not believe in Jesus Christ, they remain separated from God and under the penalty of death, both physically and spiritually. The Bible teaches that without faith in Jesus, people are unable to receive forgiveness for their sins and are condemned to an eternity separated from God.
In this sense, not believing in Jesus means that a person's soul is separated from God after physical death, and they experience a spiritual death that is permanent and irreversible. This spiritual death is often described as hell, a place of eternal separation from God and His presence.
In summary, if a person does not believe in Jesus, they remain separated from God and under the penalty of death, both physically and spiritually. This means that after physical death, their soul experiences an eternity separated from God in a place often described as hell.
ME:
but God's grace is for ALL mankind, why can't all mankind join Him in heaven
AI:
According to Christian beliefs, God's grace is indeed available to all mankind, but not all will choose to receive it. The Bible teaches that God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, but He also allows people to make their own choices, and some choose to reject His grace and salvation.
Belief in Jesus Christ is the means by which people can receive God's grace and be reconciled to Him, but not all will choose to do so. Those who do not believe in Jesus and receive God's grace remain separated from Him and cannot enter heaven, which is described as a place of eternal life in the presence of God.
In summary, God's grace is indeed available to all mankind, but not all will choose to receive it and believe in Jesus Christ. Those who do not believe in Jesus remain separated from God and cannot enter heaven. Belief in Jesus is the means by which people can receive God's grace and be reconciled to Him.
ME:
So all I have to do is believe in Jesus, there's nothing else needed?
AI:
According to Christian beliefs, faith in Jesus Christ is the most important requirement for salvation and reconciliation to God. The Bible teaches that belief in Jesus is the means by which people can receive God's grace and forgiveness for their sins.
However, faith in Jesus is not the only requirement, as the Bible also teaches that faith in Jesus should lead to a changed life and obedience to God's commands. A true faith in Jesus should result in a transformed life that reflects obedience to God and His ways.
In summary, faith in Jesus Christ is the most important requirement for salvation and reconciliation to God, but it is not the only requirement. The Bible teaches that a true faith in Jesus should lead to a changed life and obedience to God's commands, reflecting a transformed relationship with Him.
ME:
where in the bible does it say I should have a changed life and obedience to God's commands
AI:
The Bible teaches that faith in Jesus Christ should lead to a changed life and obedience to God's commands in several places. Here are some examples:
• James 2:17 says, "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." This verse teaches that a living faith in Jesus will result in actions that reflect obedience to God.
• Romans 6:17-18 says, "But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." This verse teaches that faith in Jesus should result in obedience to God's commands and a transformed life.
• 1 John 2:3-6 says, "We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. The man who says, 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." This verse teaches that faith in Jesus should result in obedience to His commands, as a reflection of a true relationship with Him.
These are just a few examples of the many verses in the Bible that teach that faith in Jesus Christ should lead to a changed life and obedience to God's commands. The Bible teaches that a transformed life, reflecting obedience to God and His ways, is an essential aspect of a true faith in Jesus.
