Can a Christian prove to God that they love Him if they don’t keep His Commandments?

How can a Christian prove to God that they Love Him If they Don’t Keep His Commandments?? John 14:15.

If Commandment Keeping that actually pleased the Father unto righteousness were possible, Jesus died needlessly (Galatians 2:21).

Commandment keeping which honors the Father is a work of the indwelling Holy Spirit SUBSEQUENT establishing a New Covenant relationship with the Father by faith in Jesus, FIRST (John 6:29; 15:8). It is our spiritual fruit produced through us by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-23) that honors the Father, not our efforts to keep rules and regulations in self-righteousness which are ultimately interpreted by the Father as “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6).

If one seeks to honor the Father through obedience, first obey the Father’s will; that is, “believe in the One He has sent into the World” to provide blood atonement for your sin (John 6:29); then, all of these other things, peace – joy – obedience – assurance, will be added as well (John 6:29; Matthew 6:33). Relationship first – obedience will follow through the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit via daily Christian sanctification (Galatians 5:16). You will know them by their fruit (Matthew 7:15-20), divine “fruit” against which there is no law (Galatians 5:23).
