“If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.” —John 15:10.
Love is much more than just a feeling. Love is action. Jesus told us as disciples, believers who seek to genuinely follow our Lord and Savior, that the action that most shows our love for Jesus is for us to be obedient to his words, his will, and his example and to love each other. The foolish person is not just the one who disbelieves in God (Psalm 53:1) but also the one who knows Jesus’ words and maybe even claims to believe in Jesus but doesn’t obey them (Matthew 7:21-23, 26-27). Let’s choose to be different, to be true disciples, to live our lives by abiding in the love of Jesus and by obeying what our Lord says, motivated by our love for him and for others (Matthew 22:36-40).
