Acts 1:1-3 (KJV) "The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through:
The Holy Ghost had
given commandments
... unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God."
The list of nearly 80 Commandments of Jesus, below only comes from the four gospels. 30 of them come from the Sermon on the Mount (Mt. 5- 6-7).
And as you read the epistles of the apostles, you will discover Jesus has more teachings, through the Holy Spirit, Jesus brought further refined and righteous, commands into the church through the godly teaching of the Apostles.
SO THIS WHOLE PROCESS AND VENTURE, OF KEEPING JESUS COMMANDMENTS, IS A LIFELONG DEDICATION.
WE WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE KEEPING AND LEARNING AND GROWING IN JESUS COMMANDMENTS FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

Below is another one of Jesus commands:
Fear not.
