1 John 5:3

Means that we obey. See John 14:23 and note. We cannot divorce faith from action (James 2:22). Are not too hard. MacKnight says: "To a good man in ordinary circumstances, the keeping of God's commandments is easy, being the delight of his soul." But we should carry this farther, since God's promise is that whatever comes our way will be within our limitations (1 Corinthians 10:13), and we do have a promise of help when we ask for it (Philippians 4:13; Ephesians 3:16-17).
