"If you love Me, keep My commandments." John 14:15 Another translation says 'you will obey what I command'

We see in this verse of Scripture that love for God and obedience are linked. In fact in our obedience to God's commandments we have a clear measure of our love for Him! This is Jesus speaking to His disciples in John and not only once does He link love and obedience, but two more times,

"He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Vs. 21 And, "Jesus answered and said to 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.'" Vs. 23

Scripture tells us of promises to those who keep His word. They have-- Eternal life:
"Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." John 8:51

Divine fellowship:
Read again John 14:23 above.

Divine disclosure:
"I have revealed You to those whom You gave me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to me and they have obeyed Your word." John 17:6

Assurance:
"Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments."
1 John 2:3

Access to God:
"For through Him (Jesus) we both have access by one Spirit to the Father."
Ephesians 2:18

Concerning commandments, Scripture describes God's as-- Faithful and broad:
"All Your commandments are faithful..." Psalm 119:86 "...Your commandment is exceedingly broad." Psalm 119:96

A lamp:
"For the commandment is a lamp,
And the law is light;
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life." Proverbs 6:23

Holy:
"...the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good."
Romans 7:12

Not burdensome:
"For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome." 1 John 5:3

In His final discourse with His disciples Jesus give them a command, "A new commandment I give to you that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." John 13:34

Earlier Jesus had given them a great example of His unselfish, self giving love by washing their feet.
"So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, 'Do you know what I have done to you?
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.'"
John 13:12-15

I close with John 15:10-11, Jesus speaking, "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
These things I have spoken to you that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full."

Thank you Lord for Your Word that reminds us that our love for You is expressed in our obedience to Your command. We adore You.  Amen
