Leviticus - Chapter 26

In this chapter we see many blessings promised if the people are obedient, and many punishments if the people are disobedient.

In verse 3 God says "if you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will ....." and he then lists all the good things he will do for them.

Similarly, Jesus promises us many blessings - but also tells us to obey his commands.

In John 14 Jesus says to his disciples: "If you love me, you will obey what I command.  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor to be with you forever."

And in John 15 Jesus says: "If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love."
