he will obey my teaching.

Two thots before our verse:
The best test of love for God is . . . ?

Tell me about your ultimate house guest? 

Now read this a few times with thought: 
“Jesus replied,
"If anyone loves me,
he will obey my teaching.
My Father will love him,
and we will come to him
and make our home with him.”
- John 14:23 (NIV)
 
Again: The best test of love for God is . . . ?
Tell me about your ultimate house guest? 

Don't go on about loving God if you do not obey Him.
Talk is cheap, love is not - it costs us our willfulness.

Want to draw in the love and closeness of God?

Love Him - i.e. obey Him.

For further study about God being close,
spend some time in Psalms 15 and 24
