John 14:23-24 ESV
(23) Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
(24) Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent Me.
(23) Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
(24) Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent Me.
Jesus never skipped around the subject, but drilled it down to the point of it all. He explained what loving Him meant, and that was keeping the Word of the Holy Father. The Bible tells us in James 1:22 to be a "doer" of the Word of God, not a hearer only, deceiving yourselves.
We must take into thought everything that we are doing and ask ourselves, "Does this please the Holy Father according to His Word?" What a wonderful promise we find that comes with the keeping of His Word as we show our love to Him in doing it, and that is .... "we will come to him and make our home with him."
Let us welcome them into our home with obedience to His Word!
Joshua 24:14-15 ESV
(14) "Now therefore fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
(15) And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
