Do You Really Love Jesus?

Jesus, speaking to his disciples, tells them how to know if they love him.

John 14 ISV

• 15“If you love me, keepg my commandments. 

16I will ask the Father to giveh you another Helper, to be with you always. 

17He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, 

because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. 

But you recognize him, because he lives with you and will be ini you. 

18I’m not going to forsake you like orphans. I will come back to you.

19“In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. 

20At that time, you’ll know that I am in my Father, that you are in me, and that I am in you. 

• 21The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. 
• The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him.”

22Judas (not Iscariot) asked him, “Lord, how is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

23Jesus answered him, 

• “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. 
• Then my Father will love him, and we will go to him and make our home within him. 

24The one who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. 

The words that you’re hearing me say are not mine, but come from the Father who sent me.
