I actually shared this eight years ago on Facebook:

A living relationship with God is the keeping of religious laws.

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
John 15:14

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 1:27

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:21

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:40

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Romans 13:9

The commandments: which people now believe are insane, harsh, antiquated, merciless, and unchristian. It is in fact love itself that they believe is insane, harsh, antiquated, merciless, and unchristian.
