Jesus Christ is very concerned about his commandments. Notice I said
HIS COMMANDMENTS. I am not at all writing about the commandments of men but those things which he himself has instructed his disciples.
28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
28:20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matt. 28:19-20
The way he sees it your desire toward him (his person) is directly related to what you do with his commandments.
5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:3
I certainly am not what this forum would consider an "ultra con" but to be fair there is another side of what you are saying. There are plenty of Churches and Teachers out there who are
THINKING that they emphasize the person of Jesus and
MUCH of their doctrine is simply to minimize this important aspect of the kingdom of God, namely keeping his commandments.
