1 | Love Jesus before the Father loves me? | John 14:21 | John Reformed | 57168 | ||
Dear Meridith, The following is a passage from John Calvin's commentary on John's Gospel. And he that loveth me will be loved by my Father. "Christ speaks as if men loved God before he loved them; which is absurd, for, when we were enemies, he reconciled us to him, (Romans 5:10;) and the words of John are well known, Not that we first loved him, but he first loved us,(1 John 4:10.) "But there is no debate here about cause or effect; and therefore there is no ground for the inference, that the love with which we love Christ comes in order before the love which God has toward us; for Christ meant only, that all who love him will be happy, because they will also be loved by him and by the Father; not that God then begins to love them, but because they have a testimony of his love to them, as a Father, engraven on their hearts." I hope this helps explain this verse. John |
