Obedience and Love

John 15

9 “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. 10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. 11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! 12 This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. 13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command.”

Jesus continues teaching His closest followers the most important stuff just before He is to be taken from this earth. Obedience and Love go hand in hand. One without the other is futile, and worthless. May my obedience be lived out in love, and may my love be lived out in obedience to my Lord and my God always!
