Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. —John 14:21.
Love is much more than a feeling or an attitude: true love is always demonstrated by loving action to be true love. When we love, we show it by our deeds. As disciples of Jesus, we show our love by our obedience to the things Jesus taught us and showed us by his example. Our goal is to become JESUS shaped — fashioned to be like our Teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 6:40; 2 Corinthians 3:18). That obedience brings an incredible blessing — Jesus reveals himself to us and makes his home within us (John 14:21, 23).
