John 15:9-17 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
Love one another
The Lord Jesus loves us as the Father loves Him. The Lord Jesus wants us to abide in His love. If we obey His commandments, we abide in His love. If we abide in His love, there is joy in our heart, fullness of joy. The Lord Jesus wants us to love one another as He loves us. How He love us? He died for us. If we obey his commands, we are his friends. The Lord Jesus told us, his friends what he heard from the Father, the Lord Jesus is willing to build friendship with everyone. The Lord chose us, not we chose him, so that we go and bear fruit, so that whatever we ask of the Father in his name, the Father will answer our prayers, in conclusion the Lord wants us to love each other.
May God bless you and your family. 🙏😀
