AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 14:21 "The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him [I will make Myself real to him]." |
Bible Question (short): Love Jesus before the Father loves me? |
Question (full): 'whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father' Can anyone expound to this part of the verse? Whenever I read it, I think 'OK. I have to keep Jesus' commands, then the Father will love me'. I can't reconciled this passage with John 3:16. 'For God so loved the world...'. And I John 4:10. 'Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins' thanks in advance to those who respond... |
