Craig,

thinking out loud back. I suspect it has something to do with God’s great gift of salvation. He has graced us so much. It is only reasonable that we seek to be more like Him, extend grace to one another without demanding anything in return, such as obedience or anything really. Christ does not demand obedience to Himself. He encourages strongly for us to obey the truth, become holy, do good toward one another.
