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.
