The Commands and testimonies are used to warn the servants of Elohim. Warned of what? If, as in I Jn the commands serve as a definition of what sin is, it stands to reason the commands then serve as a warning of those same sins.
Rom 6:22 But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end, everlasting life.
I think it would be important here to point out the problem many were having with trying to keep the commands in order to bring them salvation. That was not the purpose of the commands. The purpose is to point the need of salvation through faith in Messiah. First the inward heart needs to change by faith in the atoning work of Yahshua Messiah and then the following of His commands as a demonstration of our love for Him. This then is the guarding of His commands.
It amazes me the number of times that it is mentioned to be on guard or to guard the commands and right-rulings of Elohim.

Deu 4:6 "And you shall guard and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these laws, and they shall say, ‘Only a wise and understanding people is this great nation!’
What is our wisdom and understanding? Yahweh Elohim's commands.
We are to make these things known to our children and children's children
We are to learn and guard to do them.
It becomes righteousness for us when we guard to do them
Deu 6:25 ‘And it is righteousness for us when we guard to do all this command before יהוה our Elohim, as He has commanded us.’
We are told it is a demonstration of our love for Yashua when we guard and do them

Joh 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me.
We do not do this on our own. Elohim guards them with us. Now get this what happens if we fear Yahweh enough to guard His commands?
He then turns around and guards us.

Wow!! Pretty amazing.
What a wonderful Elohim we serve.
And if we are serving Him in this way and diligently teaching as we walk, our children then desire to serve Him down through the generations. He shows Himself faithful and true to His word.
He then turns around and guards us.

Deu 7:13 and shall love you and bless you and increase you, and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. Deu 7:14 "Blessed are you above all peoples – there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock.
