If Christ is our End All and Be All, then we need to do whatever He says, and live the way He desires of us. Otherwise, we will not be showing others that we are His sincere followers. And that, unfortunately, will diminish and destroy all that Jesus has worked so hard and suffered so much to accomplish. It's utterly important that those who follow a Leader, obey His rules and abide by His commands. And in Jesus' organization, that means LOVING each other the way that He first LOVED us. What a joy it would be if we stopped our infighting and petty squabbles and simply live for Jesus...in LOVE and obedience like He desires us of! Much LOVE!
